Now generating that, so will appear on vault.centos.org nodes soon.
I'll sync with Johnny about that.

So, I guess that Johnny is still composing the correct trees, sorting
also all the AltArch things, etc :-)
As a reminder, you can also find the raw output coming from the
builders (so unsigned) on http://buildlogs.centos.org.
For example, I see the mentioned python-* packages under
http://buildlogs.centos.org/c7-extras/ (including the srpm for each
package)
