In pre-2.5 Python, you can replace datetime.strptime with time.strptime, like so (untested): datetime.datetime(*(time.strptime(2011-06-09, %Y-%m-%d)[0:6]))
@Tims answer only does half the work — that gets it into a datetime.datetime object.
To get it into the string format you require, you use datetime.strftime:
print(datetime.strftime(%b %d,%Y))
