How to check for valid email address? [duplicate]

Answer 1

This is typically solved using regex. There are many variations of solutions however. Depending on how strict you need to be, and if you have custom requirements for validation, or will accept any valid email address.

See this page for reference: http://www.regular-expressions.info/email.html

Answer 2

For check of email use email_validator

from email_validator import validate_email, EmailNotValidError

def check_email(email):
    try:
        v = validate_email(email)  # validate and get info
        email = v["email"]  # replace with normalized form
        print("True")
    except EmailNotValidError as e:
        # email is not valid, exception message is human-readable
        print(str(e))

check_email("test@gmailcom")

Answer 3

I found an excellent (and tested) way to check for valid email address. I paste my code here:

# here i import the module that implements regular expressions
import re
# here is my function to check for valid email address
def test_email(your_pattern):
pattern = re.compile(your_pattern)
# here is an example list of email to check it at the end
emails = ["john@example.com", "python-list@python.org", "wha.t.`1an?ug{}ly@email.com"]
for email in emails:
    if not re.match(pattern, email):
        print "You failed to match %s" % (email)
    elif not your_pattern:
        print "Forgot to enter a pattern!"
    else:
        print "Pass"
# my pattern that is passed as argument in my function is here!
pattern = r"\"?([-a-zA-Z0-9.`?{}]+@\w+\.\w+)\"?"   
# here i test my function passing my pattern
test_email(pattern)

Answer 4

"^[\w\.\+\-]+\@[\w]+\.[a-z]{2,3}$"

Answer 5

The only really accurate way of distinguishing real, valid email addresses from invalid ones is to send mail to it. What counts as an email is surprisingly convoluted ("John Doe" <john.doe@example.com>" actually is a valid email address), and you most likely want the email address to actually send mail to it later. After it passes some basic sanity checks (such as in Thomas's answer, has an @ and at least one . after the @), you should probably just send an email verification letter to the address, and wait for the user to follow a link embedded in the message to confirm that the email was valid.

Answer 6

import re
def email():
    email = raw_input("enter the mail address::")
     match = re.search(r'[\w.-]+@[\w.-]+.\w+', email)

    if match:
        print "valid email :::", match.group()
    else:
        print "not valid:::"

email()
