On the lexical analysis doc page, in f-strings example, the following example isn't quite right:

>>> f"{today:%b %d, %Y}"  # using date format specifier
'January 27, 2017'

Submitting a patch shortly to use %B instead of %b.

Good catch!

I checked my presentation slides (where this example comes from).
It appeared that I meant it as %b, so the output should have been `Jan` instead of `January`.

But no strong preference, the idea is to demonstrate how to use the specifier, so %B works too.
