Out of the box, Django e-mail fields for both database models and forms only
accept plain e-mail addresses. For example, joe@hacker.com is accepted.
On the other hand, full e-mail addresses which include a human-readable name, for example the following address fails validation in Django::
Joe Hacker <joe@hacker.com>

| from django.core.validators import validate_email | |
| from django.forms.fields import Field | |
| from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _ | |
| class FullEmailField(Field): | |
| description = _(u"Full email ('Full Name <email@address>')") | |
| def clean(self, value): | |
| try: | |
| validate_email(value) | |
| except forms.ValidationError: | |
| # Trivial case failed. Try for possible Full Name <email@address> | |
| if value and u'<' in value and value.endswith(u'>'): | |
| parts = value.rsplit(u'<', 1) | |
| email_part = parts[1][:-1] | |
| validate_email(email_part) | |
| else: | |
| validate_email(value) | |
| return value |
