Unfortunately according to the documentation Python's strftime doesn't 
offer that kind of flexibility.

According to what I read it actually relies on the underlying C++ 
strftime which, on some platforms, might actually let you have better 
control over the formatting of the month and day but you can't use these 
in a portable way (ie it wouldn't work on all platform).

Have a nice day!
