You can always record entries into Application event log using call to one of overloads of method EventLog.WriteEvent. For example this one:
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(false)]
public void WriteEvent (System.Diagnostics.EventInstance instance, byte[] data, params object[] values);
Every .Net Class can be easily automated using Windows PowerShell.
Also there are exist special command for PowerShell - Write-EventLog:
Write-EventLog
[-LogName] <String>
[-Source] <String>
[[-EntryType] <EventLogEntryType>]
[-Category <Int16>]
[-EventId] <Int32>
[-Message] <String>
[-RawData <Byte[]>]
[-ComputerName <String>]
[<CommonParameters>]
Mayby you will found it more useful.
In Python there are exist special logger class NTEventLogHandler which write event to Windows Event Log.

1Try to look at [this](https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.handlers.html#nteventloghandler) class. Maybe it solves your issue. – Alexander Nov 12 '18 at 07:39
