pretty stuck

disemvowel.py 
def disemvowel(word):

vow = ["a", "e", "i", "o", "u"]

def disemvowel(word):
    vowels = "AEIOUaeiou"
    for char in word:
        if char in vowels:
          word = word.replace(char, "")
    return word

Here's a solution to this problem, remember to look for lower and upper case vowels, not just uppercase! Then also remember to save the updated word!
