Your numpy might be (very) out of date. All of those functions are in numpy 1.0
and later (at least).

In [5]: import numpy

In [6]: numpy.fft.fft2
Out[6]: <function fft2 at 0x17954f0>

In [7]: numpy.fft.fftn
Out[7]: <function fftn at 0x1795470>

In [8]: numpy.roll
Out[8]: <function roll at 0x1475170>
