You can try all of the many things @abarnert suggested, but I think the easiest way would be to just ignore the close event.

From this question:

Here you have a concrete example:

import Tkinter as tk
import tkMessageBox as messagebox
root = tk.Tk()

def on_closing():
    if messagebox.askokcancel("Quit", "Do you want to quit?"):
        root.destroy()

root.protocol("WM_DELETE_WINDOW", on_closing)
root.mainloop()

(edited code for Windows)

So change on_closing() to
def on_closing(): pass
and that makes it unclosable. I tried Alt+F4, the close button, closing it from the Windows Taskbar, all to no avail. The only way I was able to kill it was to use Task Manager.
