E-mail validator should accept new TLDs such as ".museum"

why is this a wontfix?

interesting, i would like to know as well.

changing

r')@(?:[A-Z0-9-]+\.)+[A-Z]{2,4}$', re.IGNORECASE)  # domain

to

r')@(?:[A-Z0-9-]+\.)+[A-Z]{2,6}$', re.IGNORECASE)  # domain

you get

email_re = re.compile(
    r"(^[-!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{}|~0-9A-Z]+(\.[-!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{}|~0-9A-Z]+)*"  # dot-atom
    r'|^"([\001-\010\013\014\016-\037!#-\[\]-\177]|\\[\001-011\013\014\016-\177])*"' # quoted-string
    r')@(?:[A-Z0-9-]+\.)+[A-Z]{2,6}$', re.IGNORECASE)  # domain

which should work

I see no reason why this shouldn't be fixed, .museum is a valid TLD.

Adrian, would you care to explain why?

(In [3305]) Fixed #2312 -- E-mail validator now accepts TLDs up to 6 characters long
