Unable to import tkinter.messagebox as "tk.messagebox"

Question

In my code, I have imported the main tkinter modules using the line:

import tkinter as tk

I can then reference tkinter modules for example as tk.Button().

I would like to also import the tkinter.messagebox module, which I am aware must be imported specifically.

However, I'd like to be able to reference it like tk.messagebox() to stay consistent with the rest of my code. As far as I can tell, there is no way to achieve this.

What I have tried include:

import tkinter.messagebox as tk.messagebox # Invalid syntax

import tkinter as tk
import tk.messagebox # No module named 'tk'

from tkinter import messagebox as tk.messagebox # Invalid syntax

Is there any way to import tkinter.messagebox to be referenced as tk.messagebox()?

Answer 1

It can be done as below:

import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.messagebox

tk.messagebox.showinfo("INFO", "Hello World")
# or tkinter.messagebox.showinfo(...)

Note that you cannot use the module as a function, like tk.messagebox().
