Computing FFT with Python NumPy 1.0

I recently installed Python 2.5 on Windows and also installed numpy
1.0. I'd like to compute an FFT on an array of numbers but I can't
seem to access the FFT function. I'm fairly new to Python (obviously)
and I can't seem to find documentation to match my distribution of
numpy and I can't figure out how to access the FFT function.

Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

IDLE 1.2
>>from numpy import *
a=array((1,2,3,2,1,2,3,2,1))
fft(a)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
fft(a)
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable
>>>
Help appreciated thanks.

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])

You will want to ask numpy questions on the numpy mailing list.

All of the fft functions are in the numpy.fft module.
>>from numpy import *
a=array((1,2,3,2,1,2,3,2,1))
fft.fft(a)
array([ 1.70000000e+01+0.j , -1.15270364e+00-0.41954982j,
