(Apache) mod_wsgi uses threads, right? You could keep a map (thread ->
output stream), possibly using thread-local variables, to keep track of
where to redirect stderr and logging output.

In Nginx, there is only one thread, right? So, it should be a simple
matter for the Nginx web_wsgi to keep track of the proper log file to
redirects stderr and logging output to.

Whether or not the specification requires you to do this, you really
should be doing this anyway, because there are a lot of applications
that using the long-standard python logging package (including many
modules that are not WSGI-specific), and dumping all that output into
the wrong location when you have enough information to get it right
doesn't make any sense.
