It supports both use cases:
- for a one-time transform, you can use a numpy/scipy fft-like
interface,
- for repeated usage, you can use a Python class wrapping the internals
of the plan, whilst providing a more Pythonic API.

Compared to numpy.fft, it supports multi-threading and multiple floating
precisions.

Compared to python-fftw, pyfftw uses Cython to interface with the fftw
library as opposed to ctypes (neither an advantage nor a drawback
probably) and is extensively documented and tested (definitely an
advantage).
