Why is this?
Dunno.
tkinter is a package, messagebox is a module within the tkinter package.
the messagebox module has some functions, such as showinfo(). You *can*
import those functions using "dot" expressions:
>>> from tkinter.messagebox import showinfo
<function showinfo at 0x0000021CED0634C0>
You can also import the entire module using the "dot" syntax:
>>> import tkinter.messagebox
>>> messagebox.showinfo
<function showinfo at 0x0000021CED0634C0>
Whether you can directly ask for tkinter.messagebox depends on whether
it's been defined or imported in tkinter/__init__.py.
