You misunderstood. There is no such thing as a "tk type".
Whether you use
from Tkinter import *
or
import Tkinter as tk
is irrelevant for the problem at hand.

You have to ensure that the lines
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
are *executed* before the line
dname = dict((d, StringVar()) for d in OPDefaults)
While I prefer the alternative
import Tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
# ...
dname = dict((d, tk.StringVar()) for d in OPDefaults)
this is just a matter of style.
