notebook.RemovePage will "hide" a notebook window without deleting it, 
you can add it back later.  Here is a small example, you'll probably 
want to do better bookkeeping than I do.

from wxPython.wx import *

class MyNoteBook(wxNotebook):
     def __init__(self, *a, **kw):
         wxNotebook.__init__(self, *a, **kw)
         self.pages = {}

     def HidePage(self, pagenum, label):
         page = self.GetPage(pagenum)
         self.pages[label] = page, self.GetPageText(pagenum)
         self.RemovePage(pagenum)

     def ShowPage(self, label):
         if label not in self.pages:
             return
         page, text = self.pages[label]
         self.AddPage(page, text, select=True)

if __name__ == "__main__":
     app = wxPySimpleApp()
     frame = wxFrame(None, -1, "test")
     sizer = wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL)
     notebook = MyNoteBook(frame, -1)
     sizer.Add(notebook, 1, wxEXPAND|wxALL)
     panel1 = wxPanel(notebook, -1)
     panel1.SetBackgroundColour("yellow")
     notebook.AddPage(panel1, "Foo")
     panel2 = wxPanel(notebook, -1)
     panel2.SetBackgroundColour("red")
     notebook.AddPage(panel2, "Bar")
     def hidepageone(evt, notebook=notebook):
         notebook.HidePage(1, "mylabel")
     def showpageone(evt, notebook=notebook):
         notebook.ShowPage("mylabel")

     button1 = wxButton(frame, -1, "Hide Page")
     button2 = wxButton(frame, -1, "Show Page")
     EVT_BUTTON(button1, button1.GetId(), hidepageone)
     EVT_BUTTON(button2, button2.GetId(), showpageone)
     sizer.Add(button1, 0, wxEXPAND)
     sizer.Add(button2, 0, wxEXPAND)
     frame.SetSizer(sizer)
     frame.Show()
     app.MainLoop()
