[Maya] Converting locator group position / rotation to particle

[vendan-oolmark]

I'm trying to convert a locator group (15K) to a single particle shape, with both position and rotation information. I've seen a handful of scripts floating around to pull position, but nothing for PP rotation. The end goal is to use the particleShape to drive a geometry instancer (having that many locators driving the instancer is taxing)

e.g.,
`import maya.cmds as cmds

pos = map(
cmds.pointPosition,
cmds.ls(type='locator')
)
cmds.particle( p=pos ) # or nParticle`
