As you want a Python solution:

https://pypi.org/project/cron-descriptor/

I have not tried it. It's just one of the first things that pop up when you search for cron in pypi.

For those searching for a quick and easy tool, try crontab.guru.

So for example, the requested cron text:

10 6 * * * 

resolves to “At 06:10.”
