Alternatively might find the motivation to dust off some old fftw3 based code I've got floating round which should in theory be a little faster (I'm doing multiple FFTs of the same size, with the potential to do the memory allocation and plan generation just once at the start).

Hi David,

I've written a python wrapper around fftw3 in ctypes. It has quite a
pythonish interface around the way of doing things in fftw3 (using plans).
I'm planning to rewrite the detection of the c-library, before I do a release
but you can find the code at http://launchpad.net/pyfftw

Cheers
Jochen
