问题
Similarly to this question, I'm interested in creating time series spirals. The solution doesn't necessarily have to be implemented in R or using ggplot, but it seems the majority of solutions have been implemented in R with ggplot, with a handful in Python and one in d3. My attempts so far have all used R. Unlike this question, I'm interested in displaying specific ranges of data without quantizing/binning the data. That is, I'd like to display a spiral timeline showing when particular events start and stop, where theta-min and theta-max of every event represent specific points in time.
Consider this travel data:

I'd like to plot these discrete events the same way the below plots do, but where 2pi is one week rather than 24 hours in order to illuminate the periodicity of these events, where color represents distance.
I've attempted modifying the solution linked at the beginning of this question, but it hasn't gotten me anywhere. My new approach is to modify this solution, but I'm having a difficult time getting anything but horizontal and vertical lines scattered about a spiral. Making them curve and display in the correct locations is tough.
I'm open to any approach that successfully displays the data in a spiral plot without quantizing/binning it into specific intervals but rather allows the intervals themselves to describe discrete events along a continuous spiralling timeline. Likewise, I'm not interested in converting this to a raw single-point time series format where I'd have a great deal of data representing the time between trips. I'd like to achieve this in a temporal format (one that describes a time window rather than an event at a particular time).

Still needs work, but it's a start, with python and matplotlib.
The idea is to plot a spiral timeline in polar coordinates with 1 week period, each event is an arc of this spiral with a color depending on dist data.
There are lots of overlapping intervals though that this visualization tends to hide... maybe semitransparent arcs could be better, with a carefully chosen colormap.

weekdays = pd.date_range(origin, origin + np.timedelta64(1, 'W')).strftime("%a").tolist()
# # convert trip timestamps to week fractions

Full timeline
To see it's a spiral that never overlaps and it works for longer events too you can plot the full timeline (here with LINEWIDTH=3.5 to limit moiré fringing).
fullt = np.linspace(df['start'].min(), df['stop'].max(), 10000)
theta = 2 * np.pi * fullt
ax.plot(theta, fullt, lw=LINEWIDTH,
path_effects=[mpe.Stroke(linewidth=LINEWIDTH+LINEBORDER, foreground='black'), mpe.Normal()])
Example with a random set...
Here's the plot for a random dataset of 200 mainly short trips with the occasional 1 to 2 weeks long ones.
N = 200
df = pd.DataFrame()
df["start"] = np.random.uniform(0, 20, size=N)
df["stop"] = df["start"] + np.random.choice([np.random.uniform(0, 0.1),
np.random.uniform(1., 2.)], p=[0.98, 0.02], size=N)
df["dist"] = np.random.random(size=N)

Here's a start. Let me know if this is what you had in mind.
I began with your data sample and put trip_start and trip_stop into POSIXct format before continuing with the code below.
library(tidyverse)
library(lubridate)
dat = dat %>%
mutate(start=(hour(trip_start)*60 + minute(trip_start) + second(trip_start))/(24*60) + wday(trip_start),
stop=(hour(trip_stop)*60 + minute(trip_stop) + second(trip_stop))/(24*60) + wday(trip_stop),
tod = case_when(hour(trip_start) < 6 ~ "night",
hour(trip_start) < 12 ~ "morning",
hour(trip_start) < 18 ~ "afternoon",
hour(trip_start) < 24 ~ "evening"))
ggplot(dat) +
geom_segment(aes(x=start, xend=stop,
y=trip_start,
yend=trip_stop,
colour=tod),
size=5, show.legend = FALSE) +
coord_polar() +
scale_y_datetime(breaks=seq(as.POSIXct("2017-09-01"), as.POSIXct("2017-12-31"), by="week")) +
scale_x_continuous(limits=c(1,8), breaks=1:7,
labels=weekdays(x=as.Date(seq(7)+2, origin="1970-01-01"),
abbreviate=TRUE))+
expand_limits(y=as.POSIXct("2017-08-25")) +
theme_bw() +
scale_colour_manual(values=c(night="black", morning="orange",
afternoon="orange", evening="blue")) +
labs(x="",y="")

This could be achieved relatively straightforwardly with d3. I'll use your data to create a rough template of one basic possible approach. Here's what the result of this approach might look like:
The key ingredient is d3's radial line component that lets us define a line by plotting angle and radius (here's a recent answer showing another spiral graph, that answer started me down the path on this answer).
All we need to do is scale angle and radius to be able to use this effectively (for which we need the first time and last time in the dataset):
var angle = d3.scaleTime()
.domain([start,end])
.range([0,Math.PI * 2 * numberWeeks])
var radius = d3.scaleTime()
.domain([start,end])
.range([minInnerRadius,maxOuterRadius])
And from there we can create a spiral quite easily, we sample some dates throughout the interval and then pass them to the radial line function:
var spiral = d3.radialLine()
.curve(d3.curveCardinal)
.angle(angle)
.radius(radius);
Here's a quick demonstration of just the spiral covering your time period. I'm assuming a base familiarity with d3 for this answer, so have not touched on a few parts of the code.
Once we have that, it's just a matter of adding sections from the data. The most simple way would be to plainly draw a stroke with some width and color it appropriately. This requires the same as above, but rather than sampling points from the start and end times of the dataset, we just need the start and end times of each datum:
// append segments on spiral:
var segments = g.selectAll()
.data(data)
.enter()
.append("path")
.attr("d", function(d) {
return /* sample points and feed to spiral function here */;
})
.style("stroke-width", /* appropriate width here */ )
.style("stroke",function(d) { return /* color logic here */ })
This might look something like this (with data mouseover).
This is just a proof of concept, if you were looking for more control and a nicer look, you could create a polygonal path for each data entry and use both fill & stroke. As is, you'll have to make do with layering strokes to get borders if desired and svg manipulations like line capping options.
Also, as it's d3, and longer timespans may be hard to show all at once, you could show less time but rotate the spiral so that it animates through your time span, dropping off events at the end and creating them in the origin. The actual chart might need to be canvas for this to happen smoothly depending on number of nodes, but to convert to canvas is relatively trivial in this case.
For the sake of filling out the visualization a little with a legend and day labels, this is what I have.
