Then I'm further confirmed in my view that ‘from tkinter import *’ is
dreadful practice, especially for a system we recommend to newcomers.

If it were::

> import tkinter

then it would be clear which “Image” is being used where.

Now all I need is for the Tkinter-using community to change itself to
fix this confusing practice. I won't hold my breath.
