format a date in to the format october 13, 2014 11:13 am in python

You can format a datetime object in python using the strftime() method. Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to format a date into the format "Month day, year hour:minute am/pm":

main.py
from datetime import datetime

# create a datetime object with the desired date
my_date = datetime(2014, 10, 13, 11, 13)

# format the date using strftime()
formatted_date = my_date.strftime("%B %d, %Y %I:%M %p")

print(formatted_date)
236 chars
10 lines

Output:

main.py
October 13, 2014 11:13 AM
26 chars
2 lines

In the strftime() method, the %B specifier represents the full month name, %d represents the day of the month, %Y represents the full year, %I represents the hour in 12-hour format, %M represents the minute, and %p represents either "AM" or "PM" in lowercase letters.
