You can only use #$ inside an expression starting with #~. This should
work:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(arguments
(list
#:phases
#~(modify-phases %standard-phases
(add-after 'unpack 'amend-version
(lambda _
(substitute* "setup.py"
(("versioneer.get_version\\(\\)")
(string-append "\"" #$version "\""))))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks so much for your suggestion! Can I ask for a name for these
notations, #~ and #$? I would like to learn more about them, but they are
difficult to Google for.

These are syntax for “gexp” and “ungexp”. The Guix manual explains them
in great detail in the section 9.12 G-Expressions.
If you need more detail you can find it here:
