Two things: Use some sort of file locking. You can get the lockfile module from PyPI. Include at least the process id as one of the logging fields in your formatter. I haven't don't enough with the logging module to know it it supports some sort of "name" field, which would make the different messages more easily distinguished, but if so, that would be a better alternative to the process id.
