How to create correct `WebDriverwait` statement in python with selenium?

Question

Using the answer given here I created a similar expression to check for an element:

elem = WebDriverWait(browser, 10).until((EC.visibility_of_element_located(By.XPATH, "//input[@placeholder='Search in your collabs']")))

However, I get the following error:

...
elem = WebDriverWait(browser, 10).until((EC.visibility_of_element_located(By.XPATH, "//input[@placeholder='Search in your collabs']")))
TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)

But according to the example and the documentation that should be a correct expression! So why does it still fail (python2.7)?

The syntax is not correct, there's an unexpected parenthese just after `until(`. Move it before `By.XPATH`. — Florent B., Sep 14 '17 at 08:59
@FlorentB. Why not post the solution as answer so everybody knows the issue is solved? — Würgspaß, Sep 14 '17 at 09:04
@Würgspaß, feel to post the answer. SO is not a bug-tracker for SO, so it would probably be more useful to fix the other/original post. — Florent B., Sep 14 '17 at 09:11
