You would normally tessellate the corners or the circle according to the 
screen-size of the shape (that is, more points if the shape is larger).  
sin/cos from numpy will work fine on numpy aranges to produce the 
circular sections at whatever resolution you need.  If you want to get 
really fancy, you could use evaluators or even NURBS, but that's 
probably way too complex and not worth the work unless you really have 
higher-order curves to render as well.

HTH,
Mike
