Is tkSimpleDialog really a part of Tkinter? The reason I ask is that it seems to be neglected in material on Tkinter.   For example, in <http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter/> by Shipman. Further, I sometimes see code that has:

from tkinter import *
import tkSimpleDialog

The from gets all the names, functions too, so why is it importing the name tkSimpleDialog. Hasn't it just been obtained with from?

When I enter import tkinter into IDLE, it objects. However, if I run a program in idle that imports it, then all is OK. What's up there?
