In particular, the python.org source downloads (tar, bz2, etc) are just 
extracted source files of a particular snapshot in time with no version 
information.

You can browse the hg repository on the web.  To browse by tags that 
correspond to releases:
 
    http://hg.python.org/cpython/tags

To browse the current top of each of the development branches:

    http://hg.python.org/cpython/branches

Clicking on a change set id in a particular message in a bugs.python.org 
message should open a web page with the details of that change set.

Or you can use hg (http://mercurial.selenic.com) to download your own 
copy of the source repository which will contain the complete source 
history of all branches:

    hg clone http://hg.python.org/cpython
