Fix python signature

[Owen Arnold]

The wikimaker includes a new usage section. The lhs is manually constructed to be either a tuple or a single value if a workspace return type. However, this isn't always working out, because the code that checks whether the returned type is a workspaceproperty doesn't work for all derived workspace types in python. Therefore things are going wrong like this http://www.mantidproject.org/ConvertToDiffractionMDWorkspace (20th March 2013)

result = ConvertToMD(InputWorkspace,[MinRecursionDepth],[MaxRecursionDepth],[SplitThreshold],
[SplitInto],[Wproj],[Vproj],[Uproj],
[MaxValues],[MinValues],[LorentzCorrection],[UpdateMasks],
[PreprocDetectorsWS],[OtherDimensions],[QConversionScales],[dEAnalysisMode],
[QDimensions],[OverwriteExisting])

# -------------------------------------------------- 
# result is a tuple containing
# (OutputWorkspace)
# To access individual outputs use result[i], where i is the index of the required output.

Martyn suggests that the best way around this is to look at the name of the property and look for Workspace in the type name. While hackey, this should work.

Branch: feature/6763_signature

Tester: Please try the wikimaker out on a few algorithms with different numbers of outputs. Use the ticket description for guidance on the problem that should have been fixed.

I found at least 2 Algorithms that failed:

• CheckWorkspaceMatch
• AlphaCalc

It is not possible to access the result as result[i] as documented.

This is now fixed. Signatures for the algorithms highlighted as failure cases should work properly in the wikimaker.

Tested, and it solves the issue presented and also shows a good improvement for the MD related algorithms.
