The original post was a reply to the digest, and you understand why that 
was a mistake.  But once you've created a new thread, you *DO* need to 
stick with it, using Reply-All to keep the responses in one place.

As Chris says, you didn't rename the module.  You still have a file 
called tkinter.py in your home/monoj directory.  Probably, you copied 
the module,. instead of renaming it.  So remove the one you're not 
using, and you'll get past this problem.

The point is that the import is finding that module, rather than the one 
in the library, and everything else follows from that.
