date - Make python work with month 13 -

i using following code format date in python 2.7:

month = 13 # right, i'm working 13 month. year = 2012  return datetime.strptime('{}/{}'.format(m, y), '%m/%y').strftime('%m/%y')

now changed python 2.5, , code needs changes because .format doesn't exist in particular version. so, i'm trying this:

 return (datetime.strptime(('%d/%d' % (month, year)),                             '%m/%y')  )

and returning:

valueerror: time data did not match format:  data=13/2012  fmt=%m/%y

which ok, because i'm using month = '13', need use... possible make work?

thanks!

how this,

month = 13  year = 2012  dt = datetime.datetime(year+month//12, month%12, 1)  print(dt) # 2013-01-01 00:00:00
