import rv
from rv import commands as rvc

version_id = 6073

# Get the source node currently being viewed
source_node = rvc.sourcesRendered()[0]["node"]

# Make sure the tracking info property exists. Create it if it doesn't exist
tracking_info_prop= "%s.tracking.info" % source_node
if not rvc.propertyExists(tracking_info_prop):
    rvc.newProperty(tracking_info_prop, rv.commands.StringType, 2)

# Set the version ID on the tracking info
rvc.setStringProperty(tracking_info_prop, ["id", str(version_id)], True)

# Ask the shotgun_mode to fill in the rest of the tracking info based on the version ID
rv.runtime.eval(
    """shotgun_mode.theMode().updateTrackingInfo("one", nil);""", 
    ["shotgun_mode"]
)

The Shotgun Mode has changed by the way
