To check Email is valid format or not in django

Question

I am trying to check whether the email is valid format in django. I have used syntax re.match("[^@]+@[^@]+\.[^@]+", email) for checking email is valid format. The syntax is correct but it's only for checking addresses like [email protected]. But I need to check addresses like [email protected]. How can I do that in validation? Please help me to do that. I need to check those two things in a single regex.

Thanks in advance.

What do the asterisks indicate? Just use `search` instead of `match` then. — Malik Brahimi, May 12 '15 at 12:02

Django has its own email validator you can use (docs)

from django.core.validators import validate_email

try:
    validate_email("[email protected]")
except:
    # not valid email

mhh what version of django are you using? i tested this with 1.4 and 1.8 and it works for me – yamm May 12 '15 at 12:16
ok, wait is `[email protected]` valid for you or not?? because for django this would be a valid email address. – yamm May 12 '15 at 12:36
