----------------------------------+--------------------
Django 1.6.5
According to the docs
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/settings/#managers) MANAGERS
expects a tuple
of the same format as for ADMINS, that is tuple of tuples.
In the practice it crashes with an error:

PATH_TO_MY_VIRTUAL_ENV/lib/python3.4/site-
packages/django/core/mail/message.py", line 244, in message
msg['To'] = self.extra_headers.get('To', ', '.join(self.to))

TypeError: sequence item 0: expected str instance, tuple found

That is system currently expects it to be a tuple of strings, not other
tuples. If given so, everything works fine.

Comment:

Hi,

What code is triggering this error (can you also provide the full
traceback)?

Using the example from the documentation, I can't reproduce your error (I
tried on master and on 1.6):
{{{#!python
# settings.py
ADMINS = (('John', 'jo...@example.com'), ('Mary', 'ma...@example.com'))
MANAGERS = ADMINS

# test.py
from django.core.mail import mail_managers, mail_admins
mail_managers('test', 'test')
mail_admins('test', 'test')
}}}

I'm closing this as `worksforme`. Can you please reopen with the full
traceback?

Thanks.

Comment (by anonymous):

My bad, sorry. Looks like a minor difference in function parameters.
I'm using send_mail() and it expects list of strings, it cannot just take
MANAGERS instead.
Thank you.
