I dont know why but my code works in other IDEs but not here..

here are the versions i used that worked elsewhere: def disemvowel(word): word_list=list(word) new_word_list=[] for e in word_list: if e not in ('aeiouAEIOU'): new_word_list.append(e) word_list=new_word_list new_word=''.join(word_list) print(new_word)

and:

def disemvowel(word): word=[e for e in word if e not in ('aeiouAEIOU')] new_word=''.join(word) print(new_word)

disemvowel.py 
def disemvowel(word):
    word_list=list(word)
    new_word_list=[]
    for e in word_list:
        if e not in ('aeiouAEIOU'):
            new_word_list.append(e)
    word_list=new_word_list
    new_word=''.join(word_list)
    print(new_word)

Your function does exactly what the challenge asks for. You just need to return new_word. Currently all your doing is printing it to the console.
