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 :(
It's in the tkinter.ttk docs:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.ttk.html
https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.ttk.html#tkinter.ttk.Notebook
lists add, forget, hide, identify, index, insert, select, tab, tabs and
enable_traversal, but no grid, possibly others. yet:-
>>> import tkinter.ttk
>>> help(tkinter.ttk.Notebook.grid)
Help on function grid_configure in module tkinter:
grid_configure(self, cnf={}, **kw)
Position a widget in the parent widget in a grid. Use as options:
column=number - use cell identified with given column (starting with 0)
columnspan=number - this widget will span several columns
in=master - use master to contain this widget
in_=master - see 'in' option description
ipadx=amount - add internal padding in x direction
ipady=amount - add internal padding in y direction
padx=amount - add padding in x direction
pady=amount - add padding in y direction
row=number - use cell identified with given row (starting with 0)
rowspan=number - this widget will span several rows
sticky=NSEW - if cell is larger on which sides will this
widget stick to the cell boundary

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
