[New-bugs-announce] [issue24940] RotatingFileHandler uses tell in non-binary mode to determine size of the file in bytes

[Ilya Kulakov]

New submission from Ilya Kulakov:

According to the most recent documentation:

    Return the current stream position as an opaque number. The number does not usually represent a number of bytes in the underlying binary storage.

Therefore stream should be opened as 'ab' by using value of the encoding argument or sys.getdefaultencoding if it's None.
