Format language date_format '%B' in python

Question

I'm modifing a module to get the full month (translated) instead of Y/m/d:
old: new_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
new: new_date.strftime('%B')
%B gives the full month in english, how can I translate the month in the current Odoo language setting using python code (not qweb)?

import locale
# Change timelocale to current account's language setting in Odoo.
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, self.env.context['lang'] + '.utf8')

# example (hardcoded) for dutch:
# locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, 'nl_NL.utf8')

# proof of concept
from datetime import datetime
new_date = datetime.now()
new_date.strftime('%B')
