Well, I think the way to go is to mimic splrep/splev:

def krogh_rep(xi, yi):
    return KroghInterpolator(xi, yi)
def krogh_ev(kr, x, der=0):
    if der==0:
        return kr(x)
    else:
        return kr.derivative(x, der=der)

The only danger is that if it ever raises an exception and the users
see how simple it is they will feel like idiots.
