That's a Tk artifact on OSX. You can hide that window using a function like this:

def hideTkConsole(root):
    try:
        root.tk.call('console', 'hide')
    except Tkinter.TclError:
        # Some versions of the Tk framework don't have a console object
        pass


This code is from IDLE. There are more Tk-on-OSX goodies in idlelib.macosxSupport.
