The C sources. Not all of PIL is ritten in Python.

draw_ellipse() is a thin wrapper for ImagingDrawEllips().
See PIL/_imaging.c:
   https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/_imaging.c

Which again is in libimage/Draw.c:
   https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/blob/13d84993717cffd64a2e1d7e3e6edb185973d559/libImaging/Draw.c

calling ellipse().
