If you're thinking about American month names, the abbreviation of a month name is just its first 3 letters. >>> 'December'[:3] 'Dec' >>> 'January'[:3] 'Jan' >>>
I believe the strftime module will let you get this information. Specifically, you want the %b format specifier. http://docs.python.org/lib/module-time.html#l2h-1765
