You could post a feature request (possibly including a patch or 
suggested implementation) to the Python bug tracker:
http://www.python.org/dev/patches/

You could contact the developer directly via the feedback link here:
http://www.red-dove.com/python_logging.html

You could start a discussion on comp.lang.python.

Note: when I was researching my original answer I found a thread about a 
similar problem with shelve. The discussion was not sympathetic to the 
OP for two reasons:
- in general it's difficult to determine if the same file is being 
opened twice
- it is trying too hard to protect the programmer against himself.
