Bug Description

Writing log output to a file is still missing from the Python version. We had a daily rotated file there.

If zeitgeist writes blacklisted events to log too, then please add a
switch to executable to turn off logging.

By default they won't be logged since the priority of those messages is DEBUG. However, you've raised a good point. We should probably chmod 0600 the log files too, just in case (and for consistency :)).

 * Added --log-file option for writing log output to a file.
 * Changed blacklist output to obfuscate (hash) identifiers.

A (very) incomplete implementation of log rotation is in commit #409, but we didn't add it yet since Michal was concerned about startup time.
