The Pi isn't really a sensor platform. It's more of an 'small computer' platform. Most of the projects which use the Pi end up either being something which needs a fair bit of CPU such as machine vision, A/V controllers, audio processing, web servers, etc.
Because of this, I'm not aware of a decent sensor pack which is really well suited for the Pi. There are lots of them for the arduino however. But that's C++, not python. See https://learn.adafruit.com/category/raspberry-pi for some examples of pi projects... (Not all of these listed are pure pi projects either).
