I do distinctly recall version being standardized for other purposes too, but I have no idea how to find that reference... It probably was well before 2000.

FWIW, I went spelunking in my email archives and the earliest reference to version I found was in a file called subproc.py posted to comp.lang.python by Ken Manheimer. It contained a CVS expanded RevisionRevisionRevision keyword.

The message is dated January 12, 1995.
