Please look at my 4 lines of code. It is returning just what is supposed to return.
## Examples
# to_string(datetime_object) => "24 September 2012"
# from_string("09/24/12 18:30", "%m/%d/%y %H:%M") => datetime
import datetime
def to_string(a):
b=a.replace(month=9, day=24, year=2012)
return b.strftime("%d %B %Y")

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
