termios.error: (25, 'Inappropriate ioctl for device')

hi all, i was trying to run the following command when i received the above error:

password = pyip.inputPassword(prompt="Password:", mask="-")

does anyone know whats wrong?

Start by reproducing the `pyip.inputPassword(prompt="Password:", mask="-")` entry point in the same terminal context and inspect the library's termios handling. The issue does not name a file or test, so first determine whether the error is caused by the caller's non-terminal environment or by PyInputPlus; done means identifying a reproducible cause and a documented or tested resolution.
