There is probably no need to start python or other interpreted
languages. Something like this:

grep -v FIRST_IRRELEVANT_PATTERN log_file | \
grep -v SECOND_IRRELEVANT_PATTERN         | \
grep -v THIRD_IRRELEVANT_PATTERN          | \

etc etc,
 > purged_log_file

would probably be lighter on the server, I think.
