python-pexpect: fix byte-compilation with Python 2

pexpect contains one file, async.py, that is only meant to be used
with Python 3. Due to this, it fails to byte-compile with Python 2,
which will become a problem once we make byte-compilation failures
fatal failures that abort the build.

As suggested by upstream at
https://github.com/pexpect/pexpect/issues/290, we simply remove the
problematic file when building with Python 2.
