Well, I've made some progress. My program doesn't draw any 3D objects yet, but
it creates an OpenGL rendering window, binds the OpenGL functions, and
generates no errors. Here's the corrected initializeGL method:
def initializeGL(self):
c = self.context()
f = QSurfaceFormat() # The default
p = QOpenGLVersionProfile(f)
self.GL = c.versionFunctions(p)
super().initializeGL()

Ha!
While I have experience with quite a few scientific computing Python tools
(numpy, scipy, matplotlib, pandas, scikit-learn), I know less about OpenGL than
I do PyQt5. There's always more to learn.

In all the examples I've encountered on the Net (most of which are written in
C++ -- or if they are PyQt examples, they're binding older versions of OpenGL),
the preferred approach seems to be the one that I've taken above. If you want
to call an OpenGL function, you have to look it up in the self.GL namespace.
