the first statement imports tkinter but everything inside of tkinter in stored in the tkinter namespace, in other words if tkinter has a class tk, then tk would be accessed as tkinter.tk. for example import tkinter blah = tkinter.tk() if you do from tkinter import *, then everything in tkinter is imported at the top level, so it would be from tkinter import * blah = tk() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
