Wikipedia [1] says Jan 1994, but the cited link [2] doesn't actually give a date for 1.0. However, I did find a blog post by Guido [3] says Jan 26 1994, uncited but presumably authoritative, and digging through 'hg log' shows this: changeset: 1537:7ecd6380566c branch: legacy-trunk user: Guido van Rossum date: Wed Jan 26 17:55:41 1994 +0000 summary: Release of 1.0.0 I'd say that's probably when it happened. :) ChrisA [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Python [2] http://www.python.org/download/releases/ (footnote 8 in the above) [3] http://python-history.blogspot.com.au/2009/01/brief-timeline-of-python.html
