email = EmailField('Email', [validators.DataRequired(), validators.Email()])
Python Solutions
Solution 1 - Python
If you take a look at wtforms/validators.py file in line 9:
import email_validator
Just install the package:
pip install email_validator
Solution 2 - Python
If you want it installed with wtforms:
pip install wtforms[email]
Solution 3 - Python
From WTForms 2.3.0 version, the email validation is handled by an external library called email-validator (PR #429). If you want to enable email validation support, you either need to install WTForms with extra requires email:
$ pip install wtforms[email]
Or you can install email-validator directly:
$ pip install email-validator
Or you can back to the old version of WTForms:
$ pip install wtforms==2.2.1
P.S. If you are using Flask-WTF, except for install email-validator directly, you can also use email extra (if PR #423 got merged) in the next release (> 0.14.3).
Solution 4 - Python
Try install
pip install email-validator
Solution 5 - Python
This happened to me as well when i run it using virtual env. anaconda 3.7 However when i switched my project interpreter back to my local machine Python 3.7, then i run:
pip install email_validator
it worked fine.
I just found it strange that I couldn't install the module "email_validator" in my anaconda Project Interpreter. So i suggest that you try with local machine first.
Solution 6 - Python
I had the same problem with the latest updates, tried to install email_validator and flask-validator and continued with this exception. Solved by adding in requirements.txt the following line: email-validator == 1.0.5 as suggested [here].(https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-admin/commit/5ce2906c5aa6d16)
Actually wtforms[email]==2.3.1 is what I need.
Solution 7 - Python
you need pip install email-validator, wtforms depend on email-validator.
you can see email-validator module on Github https://github.com/JoshData/python-email-validator
Solution 8 - Python
This should work as it worked for me. Just install this in project terminal:
pip install email-validator
Solution 9 - Python
Try install
pip install WTForms==2.1
Solution 10 - Python
Adding to what is already said for future referance,
pip install email_validator
P.S You dont need to import email_validator after installing.
Solution 11 - Python
from wtf forms
> Validates an email address. Requires email_validator package to be installed. For ex: pip install wtforms[email].
pip install wtforms[email]
pip install email_validator
Solution 12 - Python
Inside wtforms/validators.py file, line 392, you can see that there is exception handling for this occurrence in particular, which is why the following lines are executed to throw the alert
if email_validator is None: # pragma: no cover
raise Exception("Install 'email_validator' for email validation
support.")
Solution is to pip install email-validator in the same location/directory for wtforms/validators.py sake.
I had the same error before:(
Solution 13 - Python
In your project directory run:
pip install email_validator
This worked for me!
Solution 14 - Python
I don't know if the root cause was that I used zsh in Terminal but I also get the error "zsh: no matches found: wtforms[email]" when I tried the command below.
pip install wtforms[email]
However, I tried to do the following command, it worked for me.
pip install -U "wtforms[email]"
Solution 15 - Python
If we use wtforms.validators.Email in our python program, then it raise an exception that asks us to install the email_validator for email validation support. The solution for that problem is to type the following command in terminal pip install email_validator
Solution 16 - Python
If you have removed build dependencies before running your app, please check whether idna exists.
For Alpine Linux, use apk add py3-idna before installing build dependencies. Then this package will not be in the build dependency virtual package so will not be removed automatically.
