How can I check if text is present in selenium webdriver & python?

I tried :

def get_email(browser):

email_check = driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME("viewed-user-email")).text

assert user_name in email_check, "Text not found %s" % user_name

the response is:

 TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

If you are looking for how to check whether a string is substring of another string, here is the answer:

assert my_email_address in email_check, "Text not found %s" % my_email_address

Use in keyword for contains
Use message at the end of assert statement, not in beginning.

Complete code:

def get_email(browser): 
    email_check = browser.findElement(By.CLASS_NAME("viewed-user-email")).text
    assert my_email_address in email_check, "Text not found %s" % my_email_address

complete error trace please. why did you edit the code? Are the 2 lines NOT part of `get_email` method? If Yes, indentation is required, which I have done in my previous editing of the question. – Naveen Kumar R B Feb 14 '17 at 11:18
I dont understand what you mean. I copied the complete error trace. – chani.k Feb 14 '17 at 11:23
You can edit. My question is that why you edit the indentation of the code. You marked it as Answer. So, it solved your problem? – Naveen Kumar R B Feb 14 '17 at 11:56
