The issue with the output has to do with the fact that the default handler for the logging module uses the StreamHandler. The best way to handle this is to create your own handlers. In the case where you want to use the default logging module, you can do something like this:

# Get the default logger
default_logger = logging.getLogger('')

# Add the handler
default_logger.addHandler(myotherhandler)

# Remove the default stream handler
for handler in default_logger.handlers:
    if isinstance(handler, logging.StreamHandler):
        default_logger.removeHandler(handler)

Also at this point I have moved to using the very nice Tornado project for my embedded http servers.
