Hi, This is challenge task. The below code works well in Workspace , but throws an EOF error when used inside challenge

def disemvowel(word): word = input("Tell me a word:") print("The word you entered is: {} ".format(word)) word_list = list(word) vowel = "aeiouAEIOU"
for letters in vowel: try: word_list.remove(letters) except ValueError as err: continue

word = "".join(word_list) print("The word after removing vowels looks like: {}".format(word)) return word

disemvowel("word")

disemvowel.py 
def disemvowel(word):
  try:
    word = input("Tell me a word:")
  except EOFerror as err:
    print("No input received")
  print("The word you entered is: {} ".format(word))
  word_list = list(word)
  vowel = "aeiouAEIOU"
  for letters in vowel:
    try:
      word_list.remove(letters)
    except ValueError as err:
      continue
  word = "".join(word_list)
  print("The word after removing vowels looks like: {}".format(word))
  return word

disemvowel("word")

I tried it in a workspace and entered 'cheese' and the vowels weren't removed.

Tell me a word:cheese
The word you entered is: cheese
The word after removing vowels looks like: chese
