Sure thing. I just submitted requests to publish the python-aexpect
package for the following distros:

* F24: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-94bb07357b
* EL7: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2017-5afaa778a4

Once the packages hit the testing repos, feel free to check them out and
give karma.
