[XML-SIG] Returning dictionary from endDocument under xml.sax

Notice that parsing with SAX does not "return" anything. Instead, the
SAX XML reader notifies the application (i.e. the ContentHandler)
about a series of events - that's it. More does not happen.

That's incorrect. You cannot return a valud from parsing. Instead, you
have to collect all data in the content handler, and then query the
concent handler after parsing returns.
