async.py conflicts with dist-package pyexpect

Issue:
my-weather-indicator quit working after being updated by apt-get on Ubuntu 18.04. The syslog reports a syntax error (see below).

Error:

File "/opt/extras.ubuntu.com/my-weather-indicator/share/my-weather-indicator/myweatherindicator.py", line 47, in <module>
 import preferences
File "/opt/extras.ubuntu.com/my-weather-indicator/share/my-weather-indicator/preferences.py", line 27, in <module>
 from whereami import WhereAmI
File "/opt/extras.ubuntu.com/my-weather-indicator/share/my-weather-indicator/whereami.py", line 33
 from async import async_function
          ^
 SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Files:

• /opt/extras.ubuntu.com/my-weather-indicator/share/my-weather-indicator/async.py
• /opt/extras.ubuntu.com/my-weather-indicator/share/my-weather-indicator/whereami.py
• /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pexpect/async.py

Workaround:
rename my-weather-indicator's async.py to async_.py and edit whereami.py as follows:

# 2018-Oct-17 PAL - Renamed async.py to async_.py, due to a conflict with
#                   /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pexpect/async.py (Python 3.6+)
# from async import async_function
from async_ import async_function

Got this issue while upgrading to 19.10 today.
@atareao any chance to patch it and do a bugfix release?

I will work on this next week to fix it.
Thanks
