How to convert a string containing the month's name to an integer?

Is there a way to convert a string containing the month's name to an integer that is dependent on the current locale?
I know that somedate.strftime("%B") can convert a date time object to a string containing the month's name according to the current locale but is there way to go backwards?

strptime() does the inverse of what strftime() does.

>>> datetime.datetime.strptime("February", "%B").month
