In Library Reference 11.12.1 SMTP Objects, the
description of the to_addrs parameter to
SMTP.sendmail() is, "a list of RFC 822 to-address strings".

In fact sendmail() also allows a single string to be
passed as to_addrs. The comment in smtplib.py says,
"to_addrs: A list of addresses to send this mail to.  A
barestring will be treated as a list with 1 address."

I suggest the Library Reference be changed to say, "a
list of RFC 822 to-address strings or a single
to-address string"
