Convert python abbreviated month name to full name
<p>How can I convert an abbreviated month anme e.g. <code>Apr</code> in python to the full name?</p>

<p>If you insist on using <code>datetime</code> as per your tags, you can convert the short version of the month to a datetime object, then reformat it with the full name:</p>

<pre><code>import datetime
datetime.datetime.strptime('apr','%b').strftime('%B')
</code></pre>

python datetime
