You can use the format - '%Y %B %d' along with datetime.datetime.strptime() method to convert string to date. Where %Y is 4 digit year, %B is complete month name, and %d is date.
Example/Demo -
>>> datetime.datetime.strptime('2015 June 1','%Y %B %d')
datetime.datetime(2015, 6, 1, 0, 0)
>>> datetime.datetime.strptime('2015 June 1','%Y %B %d').date()
datetime.date(2015, 6, 1)
Use the first one, if you are content with datetime object, if you want the date() object itself, you can use the second one.

after parsing the month , you can use `date.month` to get its digit. – Anand S Kumar Aug 14 '15 at 06:57

You can use the date constructor
>>> from datetime import date
>>> date_object = date(year=2015, month=6, day=1)
>>> print date_object
