from math import cos,sin,tan,pi
theta = 0.01
steps = int ((100*pi/theta))

how many steps is that? well in my prompt:

>>> from math import cos,sin,tan,pi
>>> theta = 0.01
>>> steps = int ((100*pi/theta))
>>> steps
31415

how many do you need to make it back to your start point?

>>> from math import cos,sin,tan,pi
>>> theta = 0.01
>>> steps = int ((2.01*pi/theta))
>>> steps
631

it's always nice to have an emergency stop button- :)
