Only through recompilation.

If you have libexpat.{a,so} installed, you still need to recompile
pyexpat.so; you cannot use a pyexpat RPM from a different Python
release.

After you've installed libexpat, you need to recompile Python, or
atleast re-run Python's setup.py to get a recompiled pyexpat.so.
