I'm working with an example file in a tutorial that asks me to first do two imports: from tkinter import * from tkinter import ttk

I get an error. I researched a bit and found that in python 2.7.x I need to capitalize the 't'in tkinter, so I change to:

from Tkinter import * from Tkinter import ttk.

the first line no longer gives and error, but I still get error: ImportError: cannot import name ttk. I have researched this issue on this site and other places, and cannot seem to understand what this ttk is. I'm further confused by the fact that, when I go to the python interpreter, and I type "help()", then "modules", and then "ttk" it seems to know what it is, and gives me a lot of description, for example: "DESCRIPTION This module provides classes to allow using Tk themed widget set." -however, python won't let me import it.
