Hey--I'm looking for a good reference implementation of Bitcoin source code. I saw someone somewhere else mention bitcoinsharp, which looks neat. Any other good source code repositories to look at?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

There is the bitcoinj code at:
http://code.google.com/p/bitcoinj/

Which is worth considering. The bitcoinsharp code was originally a port of this but I expect they have diverged now. Bitcoinj is mature, pretty easy to use and used for real in MultiBit, Android Bitcoin Wallet and I am sure other projects I am unaware of.

There is Libbitcoin in C++.

For python both Electrum and Armory are python front ends but use a bespoke server and bitcoind as their 'bitcoin providers' respectively. I am not sure if there are python bindings for Libbitcoin yet but if python takes your fancy that would be the place to start.

I would avoid using the Satoshi code is at all possible due to it's complexity.
