Haven't actually tried it, but won't rpm complain about the missing python-devel package when you attempt to install the SRPM? Seems like that would be what dependencies in SRPMs are for.
No, build prerequisites are checked at build time, not unpacking time. Note that you can do both with one command, "rpmbuild --rebuild xxx.src.rpm". But if you just want to unpack it, use "rpm -i xxx.src.rpm" and it won't check the build prereqs. You can then unpack the tarball or inspect the spec file and patches and other support files included in the SRPM.
