Gr8!
I sorta figured that out for myself... though with a small variation:

import selfmademodule     // a module created by my application
class Logger:
     def __init__(self, source):
         self.source=source
     def write(self, data):
         selfmademodule.logwrite(self.source, data)

import sys
sys.stdout = Logger('stdout')
sys.stderr = Logger('stderr')

This is because the final destination of the output is not known from the python side 
of things.
