Have a look at write_xtb_input_file in this module: 
https://github.com/jensengroup/take_elementary_step/blob/master/write_input_files.py

The xtb input is simple an xyz file with some additional lines below if the 
molecule is charged. You can simply those lines in the code.

Hi Everyone,

I am seeking helps about how to convert a SMILES file to a series of 
coordinates for the molecule, in the format of xyz.
I saw some online service that can do the job (e.g. 
http://www.cheminfo.org/Chemistry/Cheminformatics/FormatConverter/index.html), 
but it is not convenient to use.

I am wondering how can we do this by writing RDKit code. A separate question is 
that is the converted molecular structure from SMILES the same as that taken 
from a crystal structure?

Many thanks!
Chenyang
