That is an error message raised by Synopsys PyCell. I guess you have installed an incorrect version of PyCell. The process xh035 uses Python 2.8. Maybe you have installed a PyCell package for Python 2.7. Please try an more recent PyCell package for Python 2.8 and OpenAccess 22.50. In case you want to used a package with OpenAccess 22.60 you need to use the latest development version of the LayoutEditor ( [https://layouteditor.com/download?release=latest](https://layouteditor.com/download?release=latest) ) or wait until the next update. Another possible reason can be the installation path of the library. In the past OpenAccess was very sensitive to spaces in the file path.
