Use vtk.qt4.QVTKRenderWindowInteractor like so:

from vtk.qt4.QVTKRenderWindowInteractor import QVTKRenderWindowInteractor

The qt4 directory is in CVS.  I guess you could grab the file from here 
and use it:

  http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Wrapping/Python/vtk/qt4/

This will be part of the up and coming 5.2 release.
