I happened to be the creator of that code snippet. :-) Glad to know that it helps you.
But I would recommend you use a later version, quoted already in Omicron's post. It uses RotatingFileHandler to avoid unstoppable log file size, and it serves the log by http://yourhost/yourapp/static/applog.txt. And the only downside (of both version) is that it does not work on GAE (yet?). A simple workaround might be turn it off when "if running_on_gae==True". Besides, I once suggested Massimo to include it inside the scaffolding app, but no agreement is reached.
