You may want to use a standalone program to do this. "xwit" has the
ability to iconify a window which can be selected in a variety of ways.

There's a direct Python interface to the X protocol in python-xlib. You
could re-write the common function "Select_Window()" from dsimple.c in
the X source distribution. One (old) copy is here:

Having done that, I'm not entirely sure how you proceed to hide the
window. You might follow the directions in the ICCCM on how to iconify
or withdraw a window (http://tronche.com/gui/x/icccm/sec-4.html#s-4.1.4),
or you might follow the EWMH document
(http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-1.4.html#id2507242)
