Having trouble with a pip installed internet archive addon on Cygwin

[Zeether]

Hi,
I've been trying to run the internetarchive pip python script in Cygwin and
when I try to enter "ia configure" to set up my Internet Archive account it
hangs when I enter my email address instead of asking me for my password
afterwards and I cannot continue. I'm not sure what to do because it works
fine on the Windows command line but not on Cygwin. Please help!

If you are mixing Cygwin and Windows Python or PEX, you will have issues.
It sounds like you are running a Windows console program which does not work on
Cygwin ptys without using an interface like winpty.
What steps did you take with which console and python to install pex and ia?
