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.j ust an example

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import time
>>> datestring = "21Jun2000"
>>> c = time.strptime(datestring,"%d%b%Y")
>>> time.strftime("%d %b %Y",c)
'21 Jun 2000'

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