[Tutor] question about import statement

[Bill Allen]

I was experimenting with Tk today, just trying it out.   I found this
example of a very simple "hello world" button click program.  This is it.

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
root = Tk()
button = ttk.Button(root, text="Hello World").grid()
root.mainloop()

What I don't understand is why it is necessary to run that import statement
twice.  Shouldn't import * bring everything in from tkinter?


Just wondering,

Bill Allen
