All it does is install files allowing loading the language into the server as
extension; Why do you want the language without the server ?

[pryzbyj(at)database ~]$ rpm -ql postgresql10-plpython
/usr/pgsql-10/lib/plpython2.so
/usr/pgsql-10/share/extension/plpython2u--1.0.sql
/usr/pgsql-10/share/extension/plpython2u--unpackaged--1.0.sql
/usr/pgsql-10/share/extension/plpython2u.control
[...]
/usr/pgsql-10/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/plpython-10.mo
[...]

But anyway, is it a problem ? You could let it install the server binaries to
/usr/pgsql-10 and then ignore them. And actually I believe RH has the ability
for an admin to "prune" paths after package installation (The usual example is
/usr/share/doc). You could do that if you want.

Or if you just want to look at the files, you can use rpm2cpio ./rpm |cpio -i --make

Or you can install it on a VM.
