[wingide-users] undetermine type

[Marcus Low]

 listrcpt = rcptto[:]

This is valid list copy. The statement "assert(isinstance(rcptto, 
list))" is only added there to HELP wing-ide to recognize that rcptto is 
a list. Else i wont be bother putting it.
Now if wing-ide recognize now that rcptto is a LIST then my next 
statement "listrcpt = rcptto[:]"  should be recognize as well.
If i am not using listrcpt as a list here, i dont know what other 
possible use you are talking about given just those codes.

I already said the "assert" is for the sake of the IDE and the user of this function gurantees its a list. I hope you are in the right forum.
