EOF error in task window

The code is running fine in Workspaces, but getting EOF error in task window. Can anyone help me with why its happening. Thank you.

disemvowel.py 
def disemvowel(word):
    word = input("Tell me a word:")
    print("The word you entered is: {} ".format(word))
    word_list = list(word)
    spare_list = list(word)
    vowel = ("aeiouAEIOU")
    for letters in word_list:
        if letters in vowel:
            spare_list.remove(letters)
    word = "".join(spare_list)
    print("The word after removing vowels looks like: {}".format(word))
    return word

disemvowel("word")

For this code challenge the word is passed into the function.

def disemvowel(word):

That means your code should be running using the variable word.

So to pass the challenge all you need to do is delete these two lines:

    word = input("Tell me a word:")
    print("The word you entered is: {} ".format(word))

Hope this helps!
