mw.language:formatDate() was only partially implemented.
However, the same kind of code needed there has already been (mostly?) implemented in the {{#time:...}} parser function in parserfns, so we can reuse code from there by refactoring the meaningful bits out and making a new mw_language_format_date_python function to be called from Lua code that will do most of the things needed here.
I spent too much time trying to roll my own implementation... before realizing there already was one in parserfns!!
