Answer 1

I believe it stuck because you are trying to run multiple YUM/RPM processes (Your package and python-psycopg2). However, you should not run yum or rpm within you rpm, but declare python-psycopg2 as a dependency, so YUM will install it before installing your RPM.

Answer 2

Just put the package in Requires in your rpm spec ex:-

Requires: python-psycopg2
