Using the datetime module:

>>> import datetime
>>> s = '2013-07-01'
>>> mydate = datetime.datetime.strptime(s, '%Y-%m-%d')
>>> print mydate.strftime('%B %d, %Y')
July 01, 2013

To add Haidro's answer, you could do it in just one compact line:

>>> s = '2013-07-01'
>>> print datetime.datetime.strptime(s,'%Y-%m-%d').strftime('%B %d, %Y')
'July 01, 2013'
