Use the "time" filter in templates. The formatting string you pass to
the time filter is described in the documentation for the "now" template
tag: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates/#now (the
filter itself is documented lower down that page).
In your case, {{ entry|time:"I, F j" }} will do what you want.
Note that the format strings in templates are based on PHP's formatting
strings, not the C and Python formatting strings.
