I want to get only the months from the given date. For example, given a date 2021-02-14, to be transformed to 'February'.

You get the Number of the month by datetime.datetime.month. To make this into the String 'February', you would need a dictionary. See the docs of the datetime class for more information.

You can use datetime.strftime with %B to get the month name as you need

See an example below,

import datetime

date = "2020-01-01"

date_obj = datetime.datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d")
datetime.datetime.strftime(date_obj, "%B") # January
