Spiral

I've written a small QBASIC program which draws a spiral. Here is the 
code:

SCREEN 12
CLS
FOR t = 1 TO 400 STEP .01
x = .5 * t * COS(t)
y = .5 * t * SIN(t)
PSET (x + 320, y + 240)
NEXT t

I noticed that it generated some interesting patterns, probably as a 
result of rounding errors.  These can be explored further by making the 
spiral tighter.

Anyway, I wonder if anyone would be so kind as to convert it to Python
because then I can try and decide whether Python is easy enough for me 
to learn!
