EOF error Disemvowel challenge

I ran this code in local idle and it ran perfectly but here it is showing EOF? Any help pls?

disemvowel.py 
def disemvowel(word):
    abc=[]
    lower_word=word.lower()
    new_list = list(lower_word)
    for iterable in lower_word:
        if iterable=='a' or iterable=='e' or iterable=='i'or iterable=='o'or iterable=='u':
            new_list.remove(iterable)
            abc=''.join(new_list)
    return abc

word_noise = input("Enter a string \n")
vowel_less_string=disemvowel(word_noise)
print(vowel_less_string)

Hi there, Kushagra Patel ! You're doing great, but those last three lines of your code you added for testing purposes which is great! But now, you're asking for a computer at the other end to put in a string and that's not going to happen. Treehouse will call your function and send in its own string (without needing the input() function).

Erasing the bottom three lines will get rid of the EOF error, and you will be presented with a new problem to solve :smiley: Hint: the capitalization of the word should remain intact.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
