Helix/Spiral missing

Grasshopper
,

Hmm, I have never needed one of these before, now I notice that there seems to be no native Helix or Spiral component in GH… so I guess the only way currently is to create the helix by math formula and interpolate points, or by running a script component and use NurbsCurve.CreateSpiral()?

Plans to add this in the future?

The grasshopper visual studio template contains an example which is helix curve.
The method it use is drawing arcs!

I prefer to work with a Python script…
