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.
