Question

Write a program that reads a string from the user containing a date in the format ( mm/dd/yyyy. ) You program should print the date in the form: November 17,2011.

Additional Program requirements:

You are to define and use a list of month names to convert month number input to string name. i.e.

month_list = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"]

I recommend that you use the split method on the input date string to create a list of numbers between / marks. i.e.  

#split date_string

date_list = date_string.split("/")

Please use this with python and type the layout as if you were editing with idle on python

print month_list[int(date_list[0])-1],
print " "+date_list[1]+",",
print date_list[2]
