Hi Adam, I have not tried this in GAE, but you should be able control the logging level (and a whole lot more) in all of your scripts via a single configuration file. You will have to add a line to all of your scripts that point to the file, but after that the logging level is controlled by that configuration file. (One change to the configuration file and a redeploy would change the logging in all of your scripts.)
Take a look at this site for information on how to do this: http://docs.python.org/library/logging.html On the performance/overhead question - I usually try to limit any logging statements that would log large amounts of information to except code blocks in my production code. My logic behind that is that if the code has already had an exception that the user experience is already diminished, so taking a bit of extra time to make sure that I have the documentation to fix the problem is beneficial to their future experience. Hope this helps.
