Firstly fftw in scipy and numpy was fftw2 IIRC, and switching to fftw3 is a bit more involved, due to the plan semantics (I'm actually planning to implement a "old style" api, i.e. y=fft(x) in pyfftw at some point). The other thing is that fftw3 (I don't know about 2) is GPL which does not fit with scipy which is BSD-like. Note I'm just guessing as I was not involved in the decision to remove fftw from scipy.
So... Back to my 1st question... Is there an easy way for me to get a fast y=fft(x) on G5 PPC OSX? (BTW--last night I tried a quick enpkg upgrade on my G5 PPC OSX, with little apparent success. Need to look into that.) Thanks for your advice.
