Get month name from number

September 26, 2022 by Tarik

import datetime
mydate = datetime.datetime.now()
mydate.strftime("%B")

Returns: December

Some more info on the Python doc website

[EDIT : great comment from @GiriB] You can also use %b which returns the short notation for month name.

mydate.strftime("%b")

For the example above, it would return Dec.
