Is the script running continuously? You won't see a rollover if you restart 
it. Working example (with shorter time interval):

$ cat rollover.py 
import logging
import logging.handlers
import time

logger = logging.getLogger()

handler = logging.handlers.TimedRotatingFileHandler("logfile", when='S')

logger.addHandler(handler)
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

for i in range(100):
    logger.info("message #%s" % i)
    time.sleep(.1)

$ ls
rollover.py
$ python rollover.py 
$ ls
