[Python-Dev] tamper-evident logs

here's a question for y'all:

I've written a simple http proxy that logs the domains visited.  The idea
is that it keeps a list of the unique domains for each day.  No problem.
The problem is that I want it to be obvious if someone has deleted
something from the logs.

This is a little bit o' software meant to run on the user's box.  It does
not have to be impossible to tamper with it, nor do I need to be able to
say what was removed; just "hey, someone futzed with the log!"

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
