Although, I am not really experienced in what I am suggesting, I would try to use Thread-local storage.

Thread-local storage

A class that represents thread-local data. Thread-local data are data whose values are thread specific. To manage thread-local data, just create an instance of local (or a subclass) and store attributes on it. The instance’s values will be different for separate threads.

You can then save and access the variables in the following way:

import threading
mydata = threading.local()
mydata.x = 1

I suggest to save the thread-specific logger to the thread-local variable when you create it and then access the logger again when necessary through the thread-local storage.

Have a look, it helped me to understand thread-local:
