You're looking at an ancient version of the docs. Here's the newest docs: https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.html Up the top, it says to start with "import tkinter" or "from tkinter import *", and then it lists some *other modules* (including "tkinter.messagebox"). Obviously with the "turtle" module, you have to import that separately (it's completely outside the tkinter hierarchy); the same is true of the others. Incidentally, this message is visible in the 3.1.3 docs that you linked to, too. But I still recommend reading the current docs (unless you're actually running your code on 3.1.3, in which case you really REALLY should upgrade).
