How can I convert 'Jan' to an integer using Datetime? When I try strptime, I get an error time data 'Jan' does not match format '%m'

You have an abbreviated month name, so use %b:
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> datetime.strptime('Jan', '%b')
datetime.datetime(1900, 1, 1, 0, 0)
>>> datetime.strptime('Aug', '%b')
datetime.datetime(1900, 8, 1, 0, 0)
>>> datetime.strptime('Jan 15 2015', '%b %d %Y')
datetime.datetime(2015, 1, 15, 0, 0)
%m is for a numeric month.
However, if all you wanted to do was map an abbreviated month to a number, just use a dictionary. You can build one from calendar.month_abbr:
import calendar
abbr_to_num = {name: num for num, name in enumerate(calendar.month_abbr) if num}
Demo:
>>> import calendar
>>> abbr_to_num = {name: num for num, name in enumerate(calendar.month_abbr) if num}
>>> abbr_to_num['Jan']
1
>>> abbr_to_num['Aug']
8
