Just a few comments:

1. You probably shouldn't add *.pyc files like that to your source
control since they're binary files.

2. I don't think you should be dumping pickeled objects to the log file.
It's much nicer if you just write text to it. For example, you're
pickling a date object to the log file, but you could instead just write
the string corresponding to it.

3. Personally I think you should probably stop using pickle files
entirely here. It seems like you could just as easily store them in a
text readable format and then load the data (say names) in line by line.
You might want to look into the csv module.

4. You probably want some documentation walking through what this should
be doing.

Cheers,
Thomas
