Difference between import tkinter as tk and from tkinter import
import, python, tkinter
Solution
`from Tkinter import *` imports every exposed object in Tkinter into your current namespace. `import Tkinter` imports the "namespace" Tkinter in your namespace and `import Tkinter as tk` does the same, but "renames" it locally to 'tk' to save you typing
let's say we have a module foo, containing the classes A, B, and C.
Then `import foo` gives you access to foo.A, foo.B, and foo.C.
When you do `import foo as x` you have access to those too, but under the names x.A, x.B, and x.C. `from foo import *` will import A, B, and C directly in your current namespace, so you can access them with A, B, and C.
There is also `from foo import A, C` wich will import A and C, but not B into your current namespace.
You can also do `from foo import B as Bar`, which will make B available under the name Bar (in your current namespace).
So generally: when you want only one object of a module, you do `from module import object` or `from module import object as whatiwantittocall`.
When you want some modules functionality, you do `import module`, or `import module as shortname` to save you typing.
`from module import *` is discouraged, as you may accidentally shadow ("override") names, and may lose track which objects belong to wich module.
Problem
I know it is a stupid question but I am just starting to learn python and i don't have good knowledge of python. My question is what is the difference between ``` from Tkinter import * ``` and ``` import Tkinter as tk ``` ?Why can't i just write ``` import Tkinter ``` Could anyone spare a few mins to enlighten me?
