>>> import datetime
>>> def nextmo(d):
...   mo = d.month
...   yr = d.year
...   mo += 1
...   if mo > 12:
...     mo = 1
...     yr += 1
...   return datetime.date(yr, mo, 1).strftime('%b%y').upper()
...
>>> nextmo(datetime.date(2007,7,15))
'AUG07'
>>> nextmo(datetime.date(2007,12,15))
'JAN08'
>>>
