If the format is constant you could

>>> date = "21Jun2000"
>>> day = date[:2]
>>> month = date[2:5]
>>> year = date[5:]
>>> print day, month, year
21 Jun 2000

the usual way to do it for any date format string is using time.strptime and time.strftime.just an example

Hey! That's awesome. I always thought that you needed a date.date object for that to work.
