In my signup form of my website, I'd like to check whether the person inputs an 'email' and not anything else. This is my signup function in python:

@app.route('/Signup', methods=['POST', 'GET'])
def signup():
    if request.method == 'POST':
        if request.form['password'] == request.form['repeatpass']:
            _insertuser(request.form['name'], request.form['email'], request.form['password'], request.form['repeatpass'])
            return render_template('SignedUp.html')
        else:
            session['credentials wrong'] = True
            return render_template('Signup.html')
    else:
        session['credentials wrong'] = False
        return render_template('Signup.html')

In most cases people use regex, however I find regex slightly complicated and would like to know if there is a simpler way to do this.

I would suggest just about anything but writing your own regex to validate email addresses. – mypetlion Dec 18 '18 at 19:17
