RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 Chris Feist 2021-07-06 14:47:26 UTC 
python3-pexpect is being dropped by the RHEL HA team in RHEL 9 and will not be shipped (unless another group picks it up).
Comment 2 zhoujunqin 2021-07-07 02:33:13 UTC 
Hi Chris,

Thanks for your response.
But I still have some doubts about this package.

Q1:
> python3-pexpect is being dropped by the RHEL HA team in RHEL 9 and will not
> be shipped (unless another group picks it up).

Do you mean the status of the package 'python3-pexpect' on this page[1]?

Q2:
I found this package existing in brewweb[2] with Tags - 
rhel-9.0.0-beta-candidate
rhel-9.0.0-beta-pending

In general, it means the package will be included by RHEL-9 compose, right?

Q3:
Is there any other rpm package that replace the function of package python3-pexpect?

Waiting for your feedback, thanks.

I *think* because it says "Content Resolver" no it means it will be eventually removed.

It will eventually be removed as soon as rel-eng catches up on their backlog.

No.
