format a date in to the format month day, year in python

One way to format a date into "month day, year" format in Python is to use the strftime() method from the datetime module. Here's an example:

main.py
from datetime import datetime

date = datetime.today()  # get today's date
formatted_date = date.strftime("%B %d, %Y")  # format date as "month day, year"

print(formatted_date)  # output: "September 29, 2021"
210 chars
7 lines

In the strftime() method, %B represents the full month name, %d represents the day of the month (with a leading zero if necessary), and %Y represents the year with century. These placeholders can be combined with any desired separators to format the date string as needed.
