This will use the syslog system to log your logs. This is usefull when you use WSGI and want to have a per day logging file (TimedRotatingFileHandler is not process safe, and you may lose data when using it with WSGI). Under a debian system, you'll have to modify /etc/rsyslog.conf and add:

local0.*                        -/var/log/django/django.log

local1.*                        -/var/log/django/payment.log
