The way I do it is to set self.result in the dialog to the return value 
just before closing and exiting.

And then instead of openiug the dialog directly I use a function to pass 
and sometimes modify the values to the dialog and then return the 
dialog.result value after it's closed.

Something like...

def domydialog(*args, **kwds):
    #
    # Check and modify args or kwds here if needed.
    #
    mydialog(*args, **kwds)
    return mydialog.result
