Convert numerical based date to alphabetical based in Python

I have the following date

from datetime import datetime
test = datetime(2015,9,8)

Which looks like this:

In [18]: type(test)
Out[18]: datetime.datetime

In [19]: print test
2015-09-08 00:00:00

What I want to do is to convert 

2015-09-08

into 

Sept8

Basically pick the first four letter of each month and append it to the date. How can I achieve that?

This should work and uses the localization of the system:

test.strftime("%B")[:4] + str(test.day)
