9    if s2 in (s1 + s1):
10        print("Strings are rotations of each other.")
11    else:
12        print("Strings are not rotations of each other.")

Output

Enter first string: ABCD
Enter second string: CDAB
Strings are rotations of each other.

What's going on

If s2 is a rotation of s1, it must appear as a substring inside s1 + s1.
