Hello

Does anyone have any idea on how i could simplify the following program by using strings?

# dateconvert2.py
#    Converts day month and year numbers into two date formats

import string

def main():
   # get the day month and year
   day, month, year = input("Please enter the day, month and year numbers: ")

   date1 = str(month)+"/"+str(day)+"/"+str(year)

   months = ["January", "February", "March", "April",
             "May", "June", "July", "August",
             "September", "October", "November", "December"]
   monthStr = months[month-1]
   date2 = monthStr+" " + str(day) + ", " + str(year)

   print "The date is", date1, "or", date2

main()
