Using the same name for 2 different objects is a bad idea in general.
In debug mode, i.e. the logger is configured with the debug level, you 
could simply write down the filename and the line number on your log 
events.

formatter = logging.Formatter('%(name)s : %(filename)s %(lineno)s  
%(message)s')

So you can easily see who logged what (if I'm not wrong, that's what 
you're trying to do)
