Manually write to error.log

Is there a way for manually write to error.log, so that I can log minor problems to this file?

From a web app? If you print to standard error, it should show up in your logs:

print >> sys.stderr, "a debugginng  message"

Or look into using the logging module...

In an app of any size, I would definitely suggest the logging module. You can log to stderr for now (using the StreamHandler and switch to separate log files later if you wish. You can also leave debugging output in your code which can be switched on at a later time to track down issues.

Thanx! :-)
