Python Scripting for reading an Excel file and creating a polar array on Klayout Macro

KLayout >= 0.29.4

After a long gap (nearly four years), I needed to revise and modify the sample code for this post to work with KLayout >= 0.29.4 (the latest as of today), where

• Updated the PCell parameters
• Added one more cell hierarchy to make a complete circular lens (perhaps intended by the original poster)
• Changed the output file format: GDS2 ---> OASIS
