There is none, while FFLAS-FFPACK is included, the finite field implementation 
is not wrapped in Python. We don't even properly wrapped the dense linear 
algebra using FFLAS-FFPACK properly yet.

Maybe you are interesting in helping out :)

Cheers,

PS: I keep forgetting, does FFLAS support extension fields?
