email_list = "Diaz, Marco <m@nachos.com>, star@mewni.com, Marco 
Diaz <m@nachos.com>, star@mewni.com" addresses = [] 
current_address = ""  for char in email_list: 
    if char == ',' and '@' in current_address: 
        addresses.append(current_address.strip()) current_address 
        = "" 
    else: 
        current_address += char

addresses.append(current_address.strip())  # Adding the last 
address  print(addresses)

## prints ['Diaz, Marco <m@nachos.com>', 'star@mewni.com', 'Marco 
   Diaz <m@nachos.com>', 'star@mewni.com']

## (Trying again since use-hard-newlines borked the flow)
