import datetime
birthdays = [ datetime.datetime(2012, 4, 29), datetime.datetime(2006, 8, 9), datetime.datetime(1978, 5, 16), datetime.datetime(1981, 8, 15), datetime.datetime(2001, 7, 4), datetime.datetime(1999, 12, 30) ]
today = datetime.datetime.today()
def is_over_13(dt): # compare total days delta = today - dt return delta.days >= 4745
def date_string(dt): return dt.strftime("%B %d")
birth_dates = map(date_string, filter(is_over_13, birthdays))
