Is it possible to use tkinter (lowercase) in Python 2.7?

Question

Is there a way to be able to use tkinter instead of Tkinter in Python 2.7.15?

Because I am able to use both syntaxes in my Python2.7 scripts. See Image: 1

As far as I know tkinter is for python3 and Tkinter for python2.

I am not sure how am I able to do this; the Windows 10 system I am working on had Python pre-installed by another engineer. I'd really appreciate if someone can shed light on this and if this is stable or not?

Thanks.

Possible? Yes. Recommended? Definitely not.

When you import any module, python simply looks through a series of directories for a module that matches what you're importing. In your case, it seems that you have python 3 libraries ahead of python 2 libraries in your search path. This will likely lead to unexpected problems.
