Am I overcomplicating this?
def disemvowel(word):
vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']
word = list(word)
for v in vowels:
while (v in word.lower()):
print v
try:
word.remove(v.upper())
except ValueError:
pass
try:
word.remove(v.lower())
except ValueError:
pass
return "".join(word)
def remove_word(word, letter)
word = list(word)
try:
word.remove(letter)
except ValueError:
pass
return word

def disemvowel(word): vowels = ['a','e','i','o','u', 'A','E','I','O','U']
ret_word = []
for i in word :
if i not in vowels:
ret_word.append(i)
return ''.join(ret_word)
