Thanks to all who replied to my cry for help; I understand it better now. But:

The documentation should tell you what you need to import to make
something work. In this case, I would guess that "import
tkinter.messagebox" or "from tkinter import messagebox" would be the
recommended way to use this module.

Well, I found the tkinter documentation to be sparse in the extreme (https://docs.python.org/release/3.1.3/library/tkinter.html), and it certainly doesn't go into that sort of detail.

However, more generally, how am I supposed to know that a module is part of a package, and needs a "magic" stanza to get a module loaded?

Cheers,
