You should not delete items from a list while iterating through it. You will find numerous posts on Stack Overflow explaining why.

>>> filter(lambda i : i not in vowels, myString)
'Ths s my strng tht hs vwls n t'

Written as a function, this would be

def anti_vowel(text):

Test

>>> anti_vowel(myString)
'Ths s my strng tht hs vwls n t'
