using while in function for getting input, and it shows argument of type 'builtin_function_or_method' is not iterable

I'm using this inside the function to get month and year input,

mon = ""

while mon not in 'januar februar mart april maj jun jul avgust septembar oktobar novembar decembar'.split:

    mon = input('Mesec: ')
    mon = mon.lower()
    yr = ""    
    print('Molim vas izaberite godinu. (npr. 2014)')

    while int(yr) not in range(2013,2050):

        yr = input()

and it's giving me next:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python33\Scan-inprogress.py", line 255, in <module>
    docMonthMoney(data)
  File "C:\Python33\Scan-inprogress.py", line 151, in docMonthMoney
    while mon not in 'januar februar mart april maj jun jul avgust septembar oktobar novembar decembar'.split:
TypeError: argument of type 'builtin_function_or_method' is not iterable

What's the problem?

You need to call split:

while mon not in "...".split():
                          # ^ note parentheses

Otherwise, you are trying to iterate through (the builtin_function_or_method) str.split, rather than the list of strings calling it returns.
