Logging is important enough for that, yes.

WRT Keith's comment below: Python logging offers a rich collection of logging 
mechanisms, one of which is syslog, which in turn offers a rich collection of 
logging mechanisms. For many applications (including mine) we need unified 
logging with other processes, not necessarily Python. So syslog becomes the 
unifying mechanism for all our logging.

I can see an argument for *not* using syslog, especially for self-contained 
apps that may not have access to syslog, or where you don't want to bother 
setting up a syslog environment. (What's the logging convention for GAE, btw?)
