The most effective way to import the Tkinter module in Python is using the following statement:

import tkinter as tk

This allows you to access all the Tkinter classes, functions, and constants using the tk namespace. It is also the recommended way of importing Tkinter in Python 3.

In Python 2, the module is named Tkinter instead of tkinter, so the statement would be:

import Tkinter as tk

You can also import specific classes and functions from Tkinter using the from statement, like:

from tkinter import Frame, Button, Label

This will allow you to access Frame, Button, and Label without using the tk. prefix. However, this is not recommended if you are importing many classes and functions from Tkinter as it can cause naming conflicts.
