Thanks for your thoughts, Alan. I had done some testing with cmdline 
redirects and forget which is was, I think my debug log was going to 
stdout and the apache-style log was going to stderr, or the other way 
around...

After a handful of guys in the #python IRC channel very nearly convinced 
me that all but 3 stdlib libraries are utter worthless crap, and telling 
me to download and use third-party frameworks just to fix a simple 
logging issue, I overrode log_request() and log message() as such:

class clientThread(BaseHTTPRequestHandler): #[[[

         def log_request(code, size):
                 return

         def log_message(self, format, *args):
                 open(LOGFILE, "a").write("%s\n" % (format%args))


... and now the only logging going on is my own, and it's logged to my 
external file. Overriding log_request means that BaseHTTPServer no 
longer outputs its apache-style log, and overriding log_message means my 
other logging.info() and logging.debug() messages go out to my file as 
expected.
