There seems to be no way to do this through the API.

However, you can do the following:

class LoggingArgumentParser(argparse.ArgumentParser):
    """Custom ArgumentPaarser that overrides _print_message"""

    def _print_message(self, message, file=None):
        if message:
            logger.write(message)
