I think you shouldn't implement the algorithm directly. Rather look for a 
library that does it for you.

If you are using PIL like in the link you give above consider using the 
draw.arc() function directly:

http://effbot.org/imagingbook/imagedraw.htm

There is also cairographics where you draw a "path" on a "surface".

http://cairographics.org/documentation/pycairo/2/reference/surfaces.html

Sorry, I can't help with the details.
