Create a heads slot, and a tails slot.

def heads(self):
    self.head=True
    self.accept()

def tails(self):
    self.head=False
    self.accept()

When you exec_loop the dialog, first test what it returns, then use
dialog.head

It's a bit longer, but it is way cleaner, because you are not overloading
cancel(), which should mean "do nothing" with a meaning it doesn't usually
have.

Another idea is to use radio buttons showing head/tails and then use
regular accept/cancel buttons.
