Also there's a [Lazy API](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Lazy_API) which seems like an easy way to get going.

<p>You will need bitcoin-python:

<p>Combine the suggestion from @David of pregenerating lots of address with <a href="https://bitcoinnotify.com/" rel="nofollow">Bitcoin Notify</a> and you can build a system that knows when someone has sent you bitcoins (as part of a checkout process, etc).</p>

<p>I have a few websites I am working on, but is there an open source code I can use that will allow people to deposit bitcoins on my site to where each user would have a unique deposit address?</p>

Are you trying to figure out if there's open source code to setup something like mybitcoin?  I'm guessing you want to have just one wallet, but have people be able to deposit/withdraw just their bitcoins?  

Some clarification on your question would help.
