As I mentioned earlier, I already have a running postgresql instance on the machibe but on different pathes. I didnt want to install another one with the default pathes because I didnt want people to think that the default pathes are the correct ones. If I'll install the package to the default values then the solution is just coppying the
plpythonu.control to my instance`s extensions directory ?

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@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.
