There are a few things scattered about.  Smoothing splines are available 
in scipy.interpolate:

http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/interpolate.html

I submitted a scikit for smoothing by regularization of 1D arrays:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/scikits.datasmooth/0.5

I am open to contributions for improved packaging, documentation, and 
examples.

I, too, think it would be nice if things were collected in a scipy module.
