The Maxbotix MB1614 is a step up from the SR04 in terms of quality, an intermediate-level ultrasonic sensor, certainly pricier than the SR04 but less cost and complexity than the more advanced SensComp (see below).
%%blockquote
Features of the MB1614, HRLV-ShortRange-EZ1T, include millimeter resolution, a good balance between people detection and beam pattern width, range information from 2cm to 5m, a 10Hz read rate, and various output options: pulse-width, analog voltage, and TTL.
The HRLV-ShortRange-EZ1T is our most recommended HRLV-ShortRange-EZ Sensor for people detection, autonomous navigation and well balanced detection.

According to SensComp there is currently no known Python port of the Arduino C code, but the Ping_SMRT.ino file looks to be relatively straightforward ''if'' the included __Wire.h__ and __LiquidCrystal_I2C.h__ library are themselves either ported or portable. But this is certainly a non-trivial effort.
