I was thinking it'd be a fun project to take my laptop with my as a commute to-and-from work and log the Probe Request and MAC address that it sees from cars around me. It would make for interesting data mining to see if I regularly travel with the same cars.

Does anyone know a simple way to log this information via Python?

No, but you could capture with Wireshark, export pertinent data, and process it with Python.
