Choose an analogue of Raspberry Pi for the task?

Question

Python

I have not dealt with Raspberry before, so I ask for help.
There is a project in which you need to work with a bunch of GPIOs - take readings from sensors, read ADCs, control relays. At the same time, packets are formed from the data and sent to the server in the database. The difficulty is that some of the sensors are very specific, but there are libraries and working pieces of python code for Raspberry for them. It is required to find an analogue so that everything works out of the box, i.e. full compatibility with GPIO and python.
Please do not discuss the reasons for not wanting to use the original raspberry, add a controller for sensors, etc.
