A source RPM is usd to distribute everything needed to build the 
binary rpm's; in other words its a tiny reproducible build environment
(to some extent).  You will need to build both, but to install your 
python modules you would use the binary rpm's you generate.

All that being said what your really need to do is read 
maximum rpm.  Its on the rpm  web site.
