Thanks to all who replied to my cry for help; I understand it better 
now. But:

Well, I found the tkinter documentation to be sparse in the extreme 
(https://docs.python.org/release/3.1.3/library/tkinter.html), and it 
certainly doesn't go into that sort of detail.

However, more generally, how am I supposed to know that a module is part 
of a package, and needs a "magic" stanza to get a module loaded?

Cheers,
