That's not the best way to get the directory path for a file.  You 
should use  os.path.dirname().  That way if the basename changes from 
main.py to something else (like main.pyc, or main.pyw, or 
usefulcode.py), it'll still work.  It fixes other problems also, that 
are less likely to occur.

os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))  should do it for you.  And 
that means that you want something like:

filename=os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)), 
"bumpr.log")

(untested)
