Frederik Rietdijk 3fceafce1e buildPython*: remove pythonRecompileBytecodeHook as dependency
This hook was added to get reproducible bytecode. Because it was causing
issues it was disabled, but still kept as a dependency. Now the main
issue with bytecode reproducibility has been resolved by updating pip to
20.2.4, we remove this hook as a dependency.

If a package with Python code is not yet reproducible, one could add
this hook to `nativeBuildInputs`.

Pexpect is similar to the Don Libes "Expect" system, but Pexpect
as a different interface that is easier to understand. Pexpect
is basically a pattern matching system. It runs programs and
watches output. When output matches a given pattern Pexpect can
respond as if a human were typing responses. Pexpect can be used
for automation, testing, and screen scraping. Pexpect can be
used for automating interactive console applications such as
ssh, ftp, passwd, telnet, etc. It can also be used to control
web applications via "lynx", "w3m", or some other text-based web
browser. Pexpect is pure Python. Unlike other Expect-like
modules for Python Pexpect does not require TCL or Expect nor
does it require C extensions to be compiled. It should work on
any platform that supports the standard Python pty module.
