Hi Christian,

About the first error...

The error message is telling you what the problem is.  From the docstring:

    Given the set of data points (x[i], y[i]) determine a smooth spline
    approximation of degree k on the interval xb <= x <= xe.

You have values in your x array outside the interval [xb,xe].
