There's a simple way that doesn't require any beanstalk configuration.

In your django settings under LOGGING set up a handler directed to the file '/opt/python/log/{log_file_name}'. The logs can then be accessed via the beanstalk environment menu under "Logs".

LOGGING = {
    ...,
    'handlers': {
        'logfile': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'class': 'logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler',
            'filename': '/opt/python/log/{log_file_name}',
        },
    },
    'loggers': {
        'debugger': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'handlers': ['logfile'],
        'propagate': False,
    },
}
