Do you have a file called tkinter.py in the current directory?

Is it possible that you've created a tkinter.py for your own tinkering?

This works for me. Hope it helps.

from tkinter import messagebox

messagebox.showerror("Hi", f"Hello World")

I am trying to learn tkinter.
Several examples on the internet refer to a messagebox class (tkinter.messagebox).
But:

Python 3.8.3 (tags/v3.8.3:6f8c832, May 13 2020, 22:20:19) [MSC v.1925 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import tkinter
>>> tkinter.messagebox
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'tkinter' has no attribute 'messagebox'
>>>

Why is this?

TIA

tkinter is a package, messagebox is a module within the tkinter package.
the messagebox module has some functions, such as showinfo(). You *can*
import those functions using "dot" expressions:

>>> from tkinter.messagebox import showinfo
<function showinfo at 0x0000021CED0634C0>

You can also import the entire module using the "dot" syntax:

>>> import tkinter.messagebox
>>> messagebox.showinfo
<function showinfo at 0x0000021CED0634C0>

Whether you can directly ask for tkinter.messagebox depends on whether
it's been defined or imported in tkinter/__init__.py.

It's probably instructive that IDLE always brings it in this way.

Lib/idlelib/config_key.py:from tkinter import messagebox
Lib/idlelib/configdialog.py:from tkinter import messagebox
Lib/idlelib/editor.py:from tkinter import messagebox
... etc

It's a submodule of tkinter:

>>> import tkinter.messagebox as mb
>>> mb.showinfo
<function showinfo at 0x000001994C7F2020>
