I see you case similar to what Record does, here is the code:

Most python activities just have to implement the read_file and
write_file methods in their Activity subclass. Record is a bit more
complicated, because apart from the session data, it also creates an
object in the journal for every photograph and every recording, so they
can be dragged around or opened with other activities.

In your case, if you don't need to make each individual log accessible
to other activities, you could just write a zip file containing all your
logs in the write_file method. In this case, see this example activity
from Marco:

git-clone http://dev.laptop.org/~marco/edit-activity/

Hope this helps,
