The jargon is "knots";
     interpolator = UnivariateSpline( x, y, k=1, s=0 )  # s=0 interpolates
     print "knots:", interpolator.get_knots()

For fast simple quadratic interpolation in C
(not your question, but quadratic is much smoother than linear
and cheaper than cubic), see
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3304513/stretching-out-an-array
It's for regularly-spaced x_i; for arbitrary spacing, first binary search.
