Here's a brute-force approach (tweaking the config file in memory before
passing it on to the logging module) that might work.
import logging.config
import ConfigParser
import StringIO
HANDLER = "handler"
LOGFILE = "alternate.log"
instream = open("some.cfg")
cp = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
cp.readfp(instream)
section = "handler_%s" % HANDLER
oldargs = eval(cp.get(section, "args"))
cp.set(section, "args", (LOGFILE,) + oldargs[1:])
outstream = StringIO.StringIO()
cp.write(outstream)
outstream.seek(0)
logging.config.fileConfig(outstream)
logging.error("oops!")
