| You need os.dup2().  Like this:
|    logfile = os.open("/path/to/logfile",os.O_CREAT|os.O_WRONLY)
|    os.lseek(logfile, 0, 2)  /* seek to end */
|    os.dup2(logfile, sys.stdout.fileno())
|    os.dup2(logfile, sys.stderr.fileno())
|    os.close(logfile)

it is better to use O_APPEND with log files. you may also need
to lock it so that many processes do not write to it at the same time.
