Cellprofiler has a watershed algorithm, I believe. And like most of  
the cellprofiler stuff, the implementation seems pretty high-quality  
and well-thought-out.

I wound up extracting the cpmath sub-package, and (after a few  
setup.py changes) it works great standalone with just scipy and numpy  
as dependencies:
