[Bug] system.util.sendMessage fails with remoteServers when payload is not a dict

[justin.brzozoski]

For a more concise and resilient deep copy before serializing, try this.

Function to convert json string or python dict into ObjectWrapper

Forcing each to the expected type while traversing makes a deep copy: def sanitize_tree(element): if hasattr(element, '__iter__'): if hasattr(element, 'keys'): return dict((k, sanitize_tree(element[k])) for k in element.keys()) else: return list(sanitize_tree(x) for x in element) return element EDIT: Got rid of the unnecessary zip() and used only one keys() iterator instead of two.

(Just stumbled on this thread while researching remoteServers and realized I knew a good answer to the question being asked even though it was a bit old... Figured I'd help anyone else who lands here later...)
