[New-bugs-announce] [issue42244] TimedRotatingFileHandler doesn’t handle the switch to/from DST when using daily/midnight rotation

[Cristian Martinez de Morentin]

New submission from Cristian Martinez de Morentin <cmartinez at das-nano.com>:

TimedRotatingFileHandler doesn’t handle the switch to/from DST when using daily/midnight rotation. When DST switch occurs, the previous day logging file is overwritten. The issue is present regardless of the value of the UTC flag (True/False).

For instance, we had a DST switch on october 24th in Spain and no logging file was created for that day. Instead, the data was written to october 23rd file.
