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.
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).

As I happen to be playing with tkinter I was searching literally minutes
ago for the way to put a grid onto a notebook tab. Regrettably the
notebook grid is conspicious by its absence from the docs :(
