Hi Soltys,
I actually tried that, without any noticeable effects, viz.:

$ cat server.py
import logging
import logging.handlers

class Server():
    def __init__(self):
        self.client_logger = logging.getLogger("client")
        self.client_logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
        h = logging.FileHandler("client.log")
        h.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
        formatter = logging.Formatter("%(asctime)s %(name)-12s %
(levelname)-8s %(message)s")
        h.setFormatter(formatter)
        self.client_logger.addHandler(h)
        self.client_logger.propagate = 0

    def util(self):
        self.client_logger.warning('This message comes from Server
module')

$ cat client.py
import logging
import logging.handlers
from server import Server

class Client():
    def __init__(self):
        self.client_logger = logging.getLogger("client")
        self.client_logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
        h = logging.FileHandler("client.log")
        h.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
        formatter = logging.Formatter("%(asctime)s %(name)-12s %
(levelname)-8s %(message)s")
        h.setFormatter(formatter)
        self.client_logger.addHandler(h)
        self.client_logger.propagate = 0

    def client_test(self):
        self.client_logger.warning("This message comes from Client
module")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    ser = Server()
    cli = Client()
    ser.util()
    cli.client_test()

$ rm client.log ; python client.py ; cat client.log
2009-11-24 16:06:35,710 client       WARNING  This message comes from
