I assume that your date in YYYYmmdd format

from datetime import datetime
date_string = "20211115"
date_object = datetime.strptime(date_string, "%Y%m%d")
date_time = date_object.strftime("%d-%b-%Y")
print("date:",date_time)

output : 15-Nov-2021

The key is strftime()

timestamp = 1528797322
date_time = datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp)

print("Date time object:", date_time)

d = date_time.strftime("%m/%d/%Y, %H:%M:%S")
print("Output 2:", d)   

d = date_time.strftime("%d %b, %Y")
print("Output 3:", d)

d = date_time.strftime("%d %B, %Y")
print("Output 4:", d)

d = date_time.strftime("%I%p")
print("Output 5:", d)

When you run the program, the output will be:

Date time object: 2018-06-12 09:55:22
Output 2: 06/12/2018, 09:55:22
Output 3: 12 Jun, 2018
Output 4: 12 June, 2018
Output 5: 09AM

%b Abbreviated month name -> Jan, Feb, ..., Dec

%B Full month name. January, February,...
