This file is however becoming large and I would like to split it into smaller pieces. One per day would be pre

uWSGI by itself can only "split by size", with the --log-maxsize option.

Time-based approaches are using classic logrotate or apache rotatelogs (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/rotatelogs.html) that you can combine with uWSGI logpipe plugin.

Finally you can have an nginx like behaviour triggering a reload at midnight of the uWSGI instance (you can even use the embedded cron facility):

[uwsgi]
daemonize = /logs/uwsgi-@(exec://date +%%Y-%%m-%%d).log
log-reopen = true
