How about this?

        def getLogFileName( self ) :
            # KEA 2001-12-13
            # return the application path for the log file directory
            # unless the user supplied filename contains a directory
            path = os.path.split(self.getOption('logfile'))[0]
            if path == '':
                return os.path.abspath( \
                    os.path.join( \
                    os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]), \
                    self.getOption('logfile')))
            else:
                return os.path.abspath(self.getOption('logfile'))

That's checked into cvs and appears to work. I tried these settings in my
pythoncard_user_config.py file:

'logfile':'c:\\temp\\pythoncard.log',
'logToStdout':0,
