import Tkinter as tk
Question: I have been using "from Tkinter import *" as suggested in
"Programming Python" by Lutz. He remarks that unlike other situations,
this is generally safe with Tkinter. Is there a benefit to doing the
import as you have?
Biggest benefit is if you ever move to Python 3 you cansimply change
that line to
import tkinter as tk
and it carries on working (or at least until you hit some
of the other renamed modules!)
But also if you ever get to use Tix, because it is a
superset of Tkinter so you can just change to
import tix as tk
and it keeps working but you now have access to all the
Tix widgets too.
