I'm also interested in using GUISupport/Qt and GUISupport/QtOpenGL from
Python.

Anyone know the rationale for why these modules were marked as
EXCLUDE_FROM_WRAPPING ?

If there was no particular reason for it, it's very unfortunate, because
now stable distributions like Ubuntu 16.04, which will be used for a long
time to come, will have a version of VTK where there's no way to tap into
these features from Python, forcing Python developers having to
re-implement this functionality (either as pure Python modules, or by
copying code from VTK). Or am I missing something?

If there was in fact a rationale (the wrappings are broken?), then that's a
different story :)

We're a Python shop, and we find the Qt integration sorely lacking on the
Python side (essentially just QVTKRenderWindowInteractor?) compared to the
C++ counterparts.
