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 <guido@python.org>
date:        Wed Jan 26 17:55:41 1994 +0000
summary:     Release of 1.0.0

I'd say that's probably when it happened. :)
