Filtering on email field throws ValidationError

[danousna]

Hi there,

When I attempt to filter on an email field (for example the default django User model contains an EmailField), I get a validation error (in strict mode) :

query = QueryDict('email__contains=gmail')

# filter set definition ...

# result
ValidationError: {'email__contains': ['Saisissez une adresse de courriel valide.']}

I can somehow understand the error but as I am filtering via a contains, the behaviour is not correct.

Any ideas for how to fix this? I am not using strict mode, so no error, but any attempts to filter on email__contains (where email is an email field), ends in zero results. It seems to do a exact match - so contact_email__contains='[email protected]' will return something, but 'contact_email__contains=email' returns no results.
