You will want to ask numpy questions on the numpy mailing list.

All of the fft functions are in the numpy.fft module.

 >>> from numpy import *
 >>> a=array((1,2,3,2,1,2,3,2,1))
 >>> fft.fft(a)
array([  1.70000000e+01+0.j        ,  -1.15270364e+00-0.41954982j,
         -3.37938524e+00-2.83564091j,   5.00000000e-01+0.8660254j ,
          3.20888862e-02+0.18198512j,   3.20888862e-02-0.18198512j,
          5.00000000e-01-0.8660254j ,  -3.37938524e+00+2.83564091j,
