How can I plot many thousands of circles quickly?

Question

I\'m trying to plot several (many thousands) of circle objects - I don\'t have much experience working with python. I\'m interested in specifying the position, radius and color

Not sure what you are really trying to do, or what your issues or concerns are, but here is a totally different method of plotting circles... make an SVG file like this and call it circles.svg

and pass it to ImageMagick to make into a PNG file like this:
