python - Get month name from number

Question

How can I get the month name from the month number?

For instance, if I have 3, I want to return march

date.tm_month()

How to get the string march?

Answer 1

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

Returns: December

[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.
