Also, most (all?) Tkinter names are uppercase, such as Button, Label, etc.

Of course I personally I usually do

import Tkinter as tk

Which means I only have to type 3 extra characters, but it removes any
ambiguity - tk.Something had to come from Tkinter, and never something that
I defined.

I suppose it's really all about trade-offs, and what you find works best, or
whatever the prevailing convention is when you're working with others.
