scope acting weird

[Gabriel B.]

i have the following code:

Ui.py:
import Tkinter as Tk
import UiMainScreen

UiMainScreen.py:
class UiMainScreen( Tk.Frame ):
....

and i get the following error:
File "UiMainScreen.py", line 1, in ?
class UiMainScreen(Tk.Frame):
NameError: name 'Tk' is not defined

isn't Tk supposed to be imported globaly?
And If i import Tkinter again inside every other file, will it be
really imported several times and be independent in each file or the
python interpreter just use the subsequent imports to know where to
propagate stuff?

Thanks,
Gabriel

No. import only affects thye module it's in. You need to add "import
Tk" to UiMainScreen.py.

The module is only imported once. The second and further imports link
the name Tk in the importing module to the Tk module already imported.
