You can return a dictionary containing keys corresponding to an ir.action.act_window:
- 'type': "ir.actions.act_window"
- 'res_model': the model for which you want to open a view (can be a TransientModel for a wizard)
- 'view_type': "form"
- 'view_mode': "form"
- 'target': use "new" to open a new windo
- 'context': the context of your function
You will find numerous examples of this in the various official addons. Look for the string "ir.action.act_window" in Python source files.

'type':'ir.actions.act_window'

Thanks very much, I have updated Alexandre's answer. Just so you know, it would have been better if you put this as a comment on the original answer (For the sake of clarity for future users) :)
