You didn't import 'tkinter', you imported all symbols ('*') from
tkinter. So, since you imported colorchooser, you can call 
colorchooser.askcolor() (not tkinter.colorchooser.askcolor())

Here you imported 'colorchooser' from tkinter. So you can call
colorchooser.askcolor(). Same as above, except that you have only
imported colorchooser and not the myriad of other symbols that '*' would
import.
