I write this simple code: 

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
import tkinter.scrolledtext

root = Tk()
textPad = tkinter.scrolledtext(root)
textPad.pack()
root.mainloop()

But not run. output is: 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:/m/lale/test/test.py", line 6, in <module>
    textPad = tkinter.scrolledtext(root)
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

Quick Script for using Tkinter / tkinter for Python 2. & Python 3.**

I had a script which had different imports of Python 2.* Tkinter so browsing a but I see that the answer are all scattered. Here a small summary with a safe Script for using both Python versions.

try:
    import Tkinter as tk
    import tkMessageBox as tkm
    import ScrolledText as tkst
    from tkFileDialog import askopenfilename
except ImportError:
    import tkinter as tk
    import tkinter.messagebox as tkm
    import tkinter.scrolledtext as tkst
    from tkinter.filedialog import askopenfilename

List of ModuleNotFoundError Errors (When Running Python 3.)

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Tkinter'
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkMessageBox'
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ScrolledText'
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkFileDialog'

You are almost there. You need the ScrolledText class from the scrolledtext module. This works.

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter.scrolledtext import ScrolledText

root = tk.Tk()
textPad = ScrolledText(root)
textPad.pack()
root.mainloop()
