Not sure.

This works for me:

from Tkinter import *

class App(Tk):

     def __init__(self, parent):

         Tk.__init__(self, parent)

         try:
             self.tk.call('console','hide')
         except TclError, msg:
             print msg

if __name__ == '__main__':
     app = App(None)
     app.mainloop()
