Python/Selenium: How to print text in an input button ('str' object is not callable + text not in html)

Question

I am trying to write a temporary mail script using selenium and I want to get the highlighted text in the image below.

The mail doesnt come up in the html:

<input id="mail" type="text" onclick="select(this);" data-original-title="Your Temporary Email Address" data-placement="bottom" data-value="Loading" class="emailbox-input opentip" readonly="">

I have been trying this script:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://temp-mail.org/en/")  # loading page
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)  # defining webdriver wait
print(wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, 'input-box-col'))).text())

But it gets this error:

C:\Users\fkahd\PycharmProjects\cryptodata\sanbox3.py:7: DeprecationWarning: executable_path has been deprecated, please pass in a Service object
  driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\fkahd\PycharmProjects\cryptodata\sanbox3.py", line 11, in <module>
    print(wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, 'input-box-col'))).text())
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

I know that I can simply bypass this by clicking on the copy button on the site and then execute a function that prints my clipboard, but I think that I could usee this information for future projects on how to get this text.

There is no text() method but text is a WebElement attribute.

Effectively, your line of code will be:

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)  # defining webdriver wait
print(wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, 'input-box-col'))).text)
