Is there an out of the box way to format in python (or within django templates), a date with full month name in accordance to polish language rules?
I want to get:>
OP's code now works as he intended: returning '30 kwietnia 2020' and not 30 kwiecień 2020
. Tested today with Python 2.7 and Python 3.6. Setting locale was required, I used the platform one - this might be an issue with web-apps as per other answers.
