The fft routines now live in numpy.fft.

>>> from numpy.fft import fft
>>> from numpy import array
>>> a=array((1,2,3,2,1,2,3,2,1))
>>> fft(a)
array([ 17.        +0.j        ,  -1.15270364-0.41954982j,
        -3.37938524-2.83564091j,   0.5       +0.8660254j ,
         0.03208889+0.18198512j,   0.03208889-0.18198512j,
         0.5       -0.8660254j ,  -3.37938524+2.83564091j,
        -1.15270364+0.41954982j])
