I would strongly urge you to do what Christopher told you, and not just 
for Twisted but in general.

Logging everything to stdout/stderr and then using some proper system 
tool to catch and process that instead of the finicky stdlib (or 
Twisted’s for that matter) logging will save you a lot of headaches 
and gain some love if you work with ops people.  Another alternative is 
using syslog which is directly supported by twistd.
