You will likely need to post some more information: What version of Django, and what version of Python are you using? A very quick search suggests that this is a new exception emitted by Python 2.7; Django's URLField tries to validate the url with an actual network connection, using Python's urllib2. The URL you are trying to insert may be just valid enough to get past the regex checks, and is then parsed by Python as an IPv6 address, and rejected. I don't have python 2.7 installed anywhere to check this, but if true, this may be a bug in Django: Either the regex checks should be tightened, or the new exception should be caught in the URL Validator. Without some more info, this is all speculation anyway, though.
