Pandas version checks
-
[X] I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
-
[X] I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
-
[ ] I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.
Reproducible Example
import pandas as pd
start = pd.Timestamp("2023-11-05T01:00:00-07:00")
start = start.tz_convert("America/Los_Angeles")
end = start + pd.DateOffset(hours=1)
# Works fine
pd.date_range(start, end, freq='H')
# Also works fine
pd.date_range(start, end, freq='24H') # 23/25H works too
# Fails: both 'start' and 'end' are DST folds
pd.date_range(start, end, freq='D')
# Fails: 'start' is a DST fold
pd.date_range(start, end + pd.DateOffset(days=1), freq='D')
# Fails: 'end' is a DST fold
pd.date_range(start - pd.DateOffset(days=1), end, freq='D')
# Fails: the calendar day range contains a DST fold (the actually ambiguous case)
pd.date_range(start - pd.DateOffset(days=1), end + pd.DateOffset(days=1), freq='D')
Issue Description
date_range returns an AmbiguousTimeError when its calendar day range contains a DST boundary. It seems to happen whenever the output would contain a DST boundary, even if the inputs are time zone aware in the same time zone.
Expected Behavior
The returned range(s) acknowledge the unambiguous DST folds, e.g.
>>> pd.date_range(start, end, freq='D') # Both time zone aware DST folds
... # Just 'start' in the range
