You can easily verify this from a shell: $ python Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Dec 27 2010, 00:02:40) [GCC 4.4.5] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from Tkinter import * >>> LabelFrame <class Tkinter.LabelFrame at 0xf708bbfc> >>> from ttk import * >>> LabelFrame <class ttk.Labelframe at 0xf62eb89c> >>> So while it is generally considered to be save to do "from Tkinter import *" I would strongly recommend to prefer "import ttk" to "from ttk import *" in order to avoid namespace confusion.
