It's valid by ISO 8601. The standard allows any number of parts to be
dropped, from least to most significant, in order to have a value with
deliberately reduced precision.

Does that help?
But seriously... 2011-12 is not a proper date, so the simplest way is
probably something like this:
def convert(date_str):
month, short_year = date_str.split()

Read the fine manuals for the `time` or `datetime` modules.
http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> datetime.strptime("Dec 11", "%b %y")
datetime.datetime(2011, 12, 1, 0, 0)

Well PyPy is just an implementation of Python among many others (but limited to
version 2.7). It is not a web server. If you want to make PyPy interact with a
web server (such as nginx) you have to use a special protocol such as WSGI or
Fast-CGI. For best performances you can for instance use uW
