D'oh. Who could have guessed that. So the loggers i create are global within
: an Application (=Task) or within a machine?
I guess the latter. (Didin't try yet)
Anyway, the fix was easily done:

def __init__(self):
		import logging
		import logging.handlers
		import pythoncom 
		loggerid = str(pythoncom.CreateGuid())
		self.logger=logging.getLogger(loggerid)
		self.hdlr=''
		self.logfile_size = 1048577
		self.logfile_count = 10
		self.formatter_string = '%(asctime)s %(message)s'
		self.loglevel = logging.INFO

Every new instance gets its own loggerid. Works like a charm so far.

Thanks Mark & Niki
