Expect PECL for PHP 7

I just upgraded to PHP 7.0.3, but there is no support for expect . Does anyone know if is it possible to bypass the installation issue? It says: root@portal:/home# pecl install expect-0.3.3.tgz pecl/expect requires PHP (version >= 4.0.0, version <= 5.99.99), installed version is 7.0.3-5+deb.sury.org~trusty+1 No valid packages found install failed I searched around the internet, but I did not find any package with this PHP version. It was working fine on the previous installed version, 5.5.
