String to datetime

Question

I saved a datetime.datetime.now() as a string. Now I have a string value, i.e.

2010-10-08 14:26:01.220000

How can I convert this string to

Oct 8th 2010

?

Thanks

from datetime import datetime
datetime.strptime('2010-10-08 14:26:01.220000'[:-7], 
                '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S').strftime('%b %d %Y')
