Then I'm further confirmed in my view that ‘from tkinter import *’ is dreadful practice, especially for a system we recommend to newcomers.
Its always dreadful practice for production code regardless of the module. Its OK for playing at the >>> prompt but not much more.
I usually import Tkinter as import tkinter as tk
Now all I need is for the Tkinter-using community to change itself to fix this confusing practice. I won't hold my breath.
I don't find everyone in the Tkinter community using from tkinter import *, quite a few use normal practice. But historically I agree
it's been an unfortunate paradigm, Even the IDLE code uses import * :-( -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
