That was not happening in the OP's code (it actually had no references to
tkinter after the initial import).  That said, if you change any attributes
inside tkinter (by binding names inside tkinter to another object) after
the top three lines, those changes will not percolate down to the
attributes imported via "from tkinter import *" -- you would obviously have
to do that work before importing the tkinter namespace into the toplevel
namespace.

I'd be interested to see if there's actually an example where someone does
this in a way that would not be done better another way.  In any case, it
served no purpose in this particular program :).


All the best,
Jason
