Description

Python currently lacks the following CompEcon functions, which are useful for approximating functions using Chebyshev polynomials and splines:

fundef
funnode
gridmake
funfitxy

There may be other related CompEcon functions that are important, but these seem to be the critical ones.

Research direction

Start by comparing the requested fundef, funnode, gridmake, and funfitxy functions with their CompEcon counterparts, focusing on the stated Chebyshev-polynomial and spline approximation use cases. Done means implementing the critical functions in Python with appropriate coverage; the issue names no repository files, entry points, or tests.
