Description

I get the following error when I try to do cargo install loop-rs on Windows 7:

Compiling loop-rs v0.3.3
error[E0432]: unresolved import `isatty::stdin_isatty`
  --> src\main.rs:16:14
   |
16 | use isatty::{stdin_isatty};
   |              ^^^^^^^^^^^^ no `stdin_isatty` in the root. Did you mean to use `stderr_isatty`?

Here is my rustup show output:

Research direction

Start at src/main.rs:16 and reproduce the cargo install loop-rs failure on Windows with the reported Rust 1.27.0 toolchain, focusing on the isatty stdin_isatty import. Done means cargo install completes without the unresolved-import compilation error.
