If your version of Tkinter supports it, then the correct syntax is:
frame.wm_manage()
Please note you have to call it on the Frame instance (the one you named 
frame), and not on Frame with a big F which is the class.

If it says the method doesn't exist (AttributeError raised on the line 
frame.wm_manage()), you can also try to do it at tcl/tk level with the 
line:
master.tk.call('wm', 'manage', frame)
