It seems not to be implemented, but you can use
scipy.interpolate.fitpack2.InterpolatedUnivariateSpline to do the same
thing for splines (of various orders). I think it also provides all
the handy extras like derivatives and root-finding. It doesn't seem to
be able to raise exceptions or insert NaNs for out-of-bound values, it
just extrapolates. But otherwise it seems to be the right tool for the
job.
