Printing Month And Date Using Python

I am trying to print only the month and date in python as following : 09-December 08-October How could I do that?

Solution 1:

Try this

import datetime
now = datetime.datetime.now()
print now.strftime("%d-%B")

For more information on this : strftime

Solution 2:

from datetime import datetime
dt = datetime.strptime("09/12/16", "%d/%m/%y")
dt.strftime("%d-%B")

Solution 3:

from datetime import date

d = date(2016, 12, 9)
d.strftime("%d - %A")
# 9 - Friday
# month day year
#d.strftime("%A %d %B %Y")
