Find string in another string using python

Question

Lets say that you have an email address [email protected] and you want to create something like this in python:

email = '[email protected]'
try:
    if "@yyy.com":
    #do something

    if "@zzz.com":
    #do something else
except:
#do something

How would I do this?

email_addr = "[email protected]"

if email_addr.endswith("@yyy.com"):
    # do something
elif email_addr.endswith("@zzz.com"):
    # do something else

# or...

if "@yyy.com" in email_addr:
    # do something
elif "@zzz.com" in email_addr:
    # do something else

for some reason this isn't working. is there something that I'm missing? what library does this use?

It doesn't use any library; these are all part of the standard Python distribution.
