help with tkinter

[Ahmad Adam Kabbara]

so when I write from
tkinter import*
t=Tk()
tkinter.colorchooser.askcolor()
I get this error message
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\kabba\Desktop\color and coordinates.py", line 3, in
<module>
    tkinter.colorchooser.askcolor()
NameError: name 'tkinter' is not defined
I also tried another way
from tkinter.colorchooser import*
colorchooser.askcolor()
and I also got an error message
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
    colorchooser.askcolor()
NameError: name 'colorchooser' is not defined
the only time it worked is when I typed
from tkinter import colorchooser
colorchooser.askcolor()
