Split an email address into its local and domain parts
Project description
Split an email address into its local and domain parts
This was built to grab the name used off of an email address. This library does not perform validation as we retrieve our email addresses from a trusted source.
This was initially written in JavaScript and has been ported to Python.
Getting Started
Install the module with: pip install email_split
from email_split import email_split
email = email_split('todd@underdog.io')
email.local # todd
email.domain # underdog.ioDocumentation
We export the function email_split from our module email_split.
email_split(email)
Function that extracts local and domain parts of email address.
email str - Email address to break down
Returns:
email object - Object representing email address
local str - Leading portion of email address
For example, todd in todd@underdog.io
domain str - Tailing portion of email address
For example, underdog.io in todd@underdog.io
We chose the names local and domain based off of the RFC specification for mailto.
