Try this one:

index = RCPTTO.find("@")
box = RCPTTO[0: index]
domain = RCPTTO[index + 1: len(RCPTTO)]
print box
print domain

It should work. You used , instead of : for slicing, syntax error.
I'm not sure, but i think string have no .len() member function. I use
len(string) to acheive the same result...
