	Uhm... by defining a file-handler and supplying the name to it? 

	All you've done with (I presume an assignment):

	myLogger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

is to create a "logger" which will prefix log messages with the module
name. The default destination is probably still stderr.

	See:
See 15.7.14.2 in the library reference manual for defining filehandlers;
15.7.1.1 for a sample using basic configuration and setting a default
file (the file will be common to all loggers I believe).
