drawing a circular arc using arcpy

I would like to draw a circular arc between two angles and of certain radius using arcpy.Just to clarify it is not the blade but rather only the arc part. I have thousands of such points so need some script to automate the process. Any help highly appreciated.

You can create an arc between two points using the great circle method. Use XY To Line (Data Management) to accomplish this. 

# Import system modules
import arcpy
from arcpy import env

# Set local variables
input_table = r"c:\workspace\city2city.dbf"
out_lines = r"c:\workspace\flt4421.gdb\routing001"

#XY To Line
arcpy.XYToLine_management(input_table,out_lines,
                         "LOND1","LATD1","LOND2",
                         "LATD2","GREAT_CIRCLE","idnum")
