Note that the above code won't actually produce any log whatsoever since your not calling any of the logger.log() variants - but I guess that's not the point.

If you're running your code with apache/mod_wsgi, the simplest solution is to configure your logger(s) to log to sys.stderr using a StreamHandler (cf http://docs.python.org/howto/logging.html#configuring-logging), and define the error log path, name and level in your apache conf (beware, the default apache behaviour is to only log "error level" message).
