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,
It all depends on whether or not there is an __init__.py file in the
directory, see e.g. http://pythoncentral.io/how-to-create-a-python-package/
