Centre county Pennsylvania, USA | No limit to size of fft in pylab, I run hundreds of 4 million point pylab ffts every day at my factory job in town. Another well kept secret, modern fft packages will run any fft size on win or linux boxes with no execution time penalty for non-power of 2 fft sizes. That greatly simplifies most signal processing code, large and fast ffts of any size gives full access to the frequency domain where things can often be number crunched more efficiently than they can in the time domain.
Python/pylab are very high level, dynamic, scripting languages that have steep learning curves , particularly if your not fully on-board the object-orientated programming train. They are also open languages (not supported by any company). Struggling through that learning curve and dealing with the chaos of open source language will pay large dividends if your serious about scientific programming on low cost home hardware boxes, at least it did for me.
