from tkinter import *

The code from tkinter import * imports all the classes, functions, and constants from the tkinter module into the current namespace.

tkinter is Python's standard library module for creating Graphical User Interfaces (GUI). By importing everything with the *, you can directly use tkinter components (like Tk, Button, Label, etc.) without needing to prefix them with tkinter..

For example:

  • Tk() initializes the main window.
  • Button() creates a clickable button.
  • Label() creates a text label.

It's worth noting that while using from module import * can make your code simpler, it's generally discouraged for large-scale programs because it makes the namespace cluttered and harder to read. It's better to import only the necessary components or use import tkinter as tk to maintain clarity.
