validate_email returns None for any or format

[NoviceSortOf]

Why does validate_email return None irregardless of what is typed in?

>>> from django.core.validators import validate_email

>>> x = validators.validate_email('te...@example.com')

>>> print x

None

>>>

Shouldn't it be returning True or False?

As far as I know validators don't return anything, just raise an Exception if the parameters don't validate

According to
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/forms/validation/#validators:

> A validator is merely a callable object or function that takes a
> value and simply returns nothing if the value is valid or raises a
> ValidationError if not.

Thanks, I can build logic on that.
