There's the WatchedFileHandler, which checks to see if a file's device or inode has changed (which happens when the external rotator does rotation) and if so, closes and reopens the file. (This handler is for Unix/Linux/OS X - it doesn't work on Windows). See http://docs.python.org/library/logging.handlers.html#watchedfilehandler for more information.
