I've searched online looking for an open source tool, script or source code. I need a stand alone Python script that can convert KML files to AutoCAD (DWG\DXF) without the reliance on ArcGIS. The reason is that our colleagues need to be able to convert KML files to AutoCAD (DWG\DXF) without have to contact us each time they need a KML file converted to AutoCAD (DWG\DXF). Any help to achieve the following will be appreciated.

Online you can get this free
Free KML Tools - KML to DXF Convertor
and a standalone tool here
and also okmap
without waisting time coding with pyhon
Take a look this usefool python tool if you want play python code
You're probably best trying this question elsewhere, since this is a support forum for Python in the context of ArcGIS. That said, if you need the exact implemention that ArcGIS provides, you could set up a server instance that does the conversion. If you're not afraid of the command line, you can also try your luck with ogr2ogr, which has a somewhat limited DXF AutoCAD 2000 driver:
ogr2ogr -f "DXF" destination.dxf source.kml
Both formats are complicated and have non-overlapping featuresets, so expect this to be a lossy translation.
