Welcome, to both fields :-)
Thanks! I am having a great time learning and coding in python. It's
an amazing programming language.

Have you investigated the 'logging' module in the Python standard
library <URL:http://www.python.org/doc/lib/module-logging>? It appears
to meet your listed requirements, without need of external
dependencies.
Hmm..Yeah I didn't realize python had its own standard logging
facility. I took a look at it and it seems to do the job. However, the
output seems to be syslog style output. In the program I am writing,
the log file stores all the output of the commands being run (e.g. tcl
scripts, etc). Will this be possible using the built in python logging
module?
Thanks,
Amit

You can define the format of the log output in basicConfig(), for example:
from logging import basicConfig, error, info, INFO
...
basicConfig(
datefmt='%Y%m%d_T%H%M%S',
filemode='a',
filename=LOG_PATH,
format='%(asctime)s,%(levelname)s,%(message)s',
level=INFO
)
If you want to log the output of other commands in your log file, you can
connect a pipe to that command. Maybe look at "subprocess -- Subprocess
management" in http://docs.python.org/lib/module-subprocess.html
