According to Misc/HISTORY, Python was first posted to alt.sources at version 0.9.0, February 1991. It doesn't say 0.9.0 had classes, but at 0.9.3 we see refinements like __dict__, and it's hard to imagine that classes themselves snuck in without notice in the interim. If you got a copy of some older version than this, you have some interesting historical perspectives there, but not much of a historical issue, I'd say, without much going on in the way of a user community.
