Write a header at every logfile that is created with a time-rotating logger

I've solved it! Basically all that needs to be done is overriding the doRollover method of the TimedRotatingFileHandler, also some code is needed in this new parent class in order to pass the logging instance and set the header content. Hereby an extensive example for people who encounter a similar situation.

from logging.handlers import TimedRotatingFileHandler

class MyTimedRotatingFileHandler(TimedRotatingFileHandler):
    def __init__(self, logfile, when, interval):
        super(MyTimedRotatingFileHandler, self).__init__(logfile, when, interval)
        self._header = ""
        self._log = None

    def doRollover(self):
        super(MyTimedRotatingFileHandler, self).doRollover()
        if self._log is not None and self._header != "":
            self._log.info(self._header)

    def setHeader(self, header):
        self._header = header

    def configureHeaderWriter(self, header, log):
        self._header = header
        self._log = log

# create time-rotating log handler
logHandler = MyTimedRotatingFileHandler(logfile, when='midnight')
form = '%(asctime)s %(name)s %(levelname)s: %(message)s'
logFormatter = logging.Formatter(form)
logHandler.setFormatter(logFormatter)

# create logger
log = logging.getLogger('MyLogger')
logHandler.configureHeaderWriter('test-header', log)
log.addHandler(logHandler)
log.setLevel(logging.INFO)
