Ha, found it! :-)

=========
# -*- coding: latin-1 -*-

import locale
import re

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'FR')

re_inscription =
re.compile(r"(?P<date>\d+)\s+(?P<month>\w+)\s+(?P<year>\d+)",re.LOCALE)

dateinscription = "11 Août 2008"
	
m = re_inscription.search(dateinscription)
if m:
		day = m.group("date")
		month = m.group("month")
		year = m.group("year")
		print "%s-%s-%s" % (year,month,day)
else:
	print "Yuck"
