How do I represent a 3 letter month date format in python such as the following:
Jan 16, 2012
I know for January 16, 2012 the format is %B %d,%Y. Any ideas?

Use datetime. strftime(format) to convert a datetime object into a string as per the corresponding format . The format codes are standard directives for mentioning in which format you want to represent datetime. For example, the %d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S codes convert date to dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss format.
There's the three letter month format %b:
In [37]: datetime.strptime('Jan 16, 2012', '%b %d, %Y')
Out[37]: datetime.datetime(2012, 1, 16, 0, 0)
