I use something called WeeWx, www.weewx.com for grabbing WX data off of sensors, it is written in python and in fact the fellow that wrote it I believe lives in the gorge somewhere.
James are you using WeeWX? My station data can be seen on WU, APRS and CWOP. It can capture data from a whole bunch of sensors. You are probably well off to get the I2C based sensors, from what I can see you can get those at a good price and use the I2C bus to talk to them. I believe you can string a bunch of them on that bus as I believe that they are addressed. I have not worked with it yet, but I have started to look at it for some other applications (cooler and freezer temps for food safety).
