Those are standard error messages (sys.stderr), you can get it like this:

--------------------------------------------
--- browser.py  2010-07-20 22:51:33.000000000 +0530
+++ browser-new.py      2010-07-20 22:55:20.000000000 +0530

 sa = httpd.socket.getsockname()
 print "Serving HTTP on", sa[0], "port", sa[1], "..."
-httpd.serve_forever()
+import sys
+out = open("browser.log", "w")
+sys.stderr = out
+try:
+    httpd.serve_forever()
+except:

I hope you can understand unified diff format: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diff
