A log file is just a file. So if you can write to any file
you can write to a log file. The simplest way to  to that is just
to use print statements then, when you run the code use
output redirection to your log file

$ python myprog.py > mylogfile.txt

But assuming you need something more sophisticated than that
you can use the logging module that comes with Python.
Check the documentation for many examples.
