scipy ML is more appropriate for this kind of questions: http://www.scipy.org/Mailing_Lists In scipy, there is a kernel density estimator, which is one popular method for non-parametric density estimation, and fit exactly the "Gaussian smoothed version of the histogram" when used with Gaussian kernels.
