Hm, the exception seems to be raised when the module is generated.  Please look
into the comtypes\gen directory, do you find a (valid) AutoCAD.py file, and the 
file
that is imported by AutoCad.py?

If so, can you please look into the latter if there is a 'IAcadApplication' 
interface
defined?

If not, you should probably set a breakpoint on line 132 in 
comtypes\client\__init__.py,
and inspect the generated module (which has not yet been written to disk).  Or 
put a line
  print dir(mod)
must before line 133 in this file.  This should provide some insight.
