Bug report

Bug description:

If you remove the ability to write ioctls to tty stdio, for example on macOS by doing

sandbox-exec -p '(version 1) (import "system.sb") (allow process-exec) (allow file-read* (subpath "/"))' python3.13

Then PyREPL fails:

AttributeError: 'UnixConsole' object has no attribute '_UnixConsole__buffer'. Did you mean: '_UnixConsole__move'?

You can work around this, by re-enabling ioctls:

sandbox-exec -p '(version 1) (import "system.sb") (allow process-exec) (allow file-read* (subpath "/")) (allow file-ioctl (regex "^/dev/ttys[0-9]*"))' python3.13

but pyrepl should probably be robust to this and fall back to a regular console.
