Then they are not following the advice of the documentation <URL:http://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.html>, which explicitly recommends ‘from tkinter import *’. It's also prevalent in third-party <URL:http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/> <URL:http://www.tkdocs.com/> documents which are referenced from the official documentation. This one <URL:http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter/web/> does at least get it right. If ‘import tkinter as tk’ were to become the norm in official and third-party documentation, I'd agree the problem would be solved at that point. -- \ “One bad programmer can easily create two new jobs a year. | `\ Hiring more bad programmers will just increase our perceived | _o__) need for them.” —David Lorge Parnas, 1999-03 | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
