CPython's source is easy to find and easy to read. The core dev community has gone to pains to keep it simple. It's also pretty well documented and has a great community in general. You can download the source at python.org or look at it online (http://hg.python.org/cpython/). You make a mercurial clone on your local box for hacking and use bitbucket to host it publicly.
I've found the CPython source to be a fount of knowledge. A great place to start is the devguide.
