You may use the "errorbar" function to draw lines (including
errorbars) and then hide (and show again) errorbars.

From the errorbar documentation,

    Return value is a length 3 tuple.  The first element is the
    :class:`~matplotlib.lines.Line2D` instance for the *y* symbol
    lines.  The second element is a list of error bar cap lines,
    the third element is a list of
    :class:`~matplotlib.collections.LineCollection` instances for
    the horizontal and vertical error ranges.


so, something like below will work.

    l, ec, el = errorbar(x, y, yerr, marker='s')
    setp(ec, visible=False)
    setp(el, visible=False)


    # when you want to show the errorbars again
    setp(ec, visible=True)
    setp(el, visible=True)
