What I do for Windows is intercept writes to stdout and stderr and write them the logging system.

See the the logging code in https://github.com/barry-scott/scm-workbench/blob/master/Source/Common/wb_logging.py

And the setup in https://github.com/barry-scott/scm-workbench/blob/master/Source/Common/wb_app.py

The features I needed are:
* log rotation and max size limits
* optionally capture stdout and stderr - always on for production
* optionally output log to stdout - used while debugging
* output to Qt Widget
