Seems that you're looking for a logging package (hint: there's one in
the standard lib).

A general solution would be a combination of
1/ a Singleton or Monostate (for storing application-wide settings) and
2/ a method decorator managing additionnal responsabilities according to
the values of 1.

There are examples of Singleton/Borg/Monostate/whatnot in the Python
cookbook and elsewhere - as usual, google is your friend - and a Q&D
example of decorator doing this kind of jobs in the decorator library
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonDecoratorLibrary

My 2 cents
