Not sure what you're running, but 'stty -e' throws an error for me
(Debian Wheezy). I get fairly similar output from 'stty -a', though;
and it's marginally more parseable:

rosuav@sikorsky:~$ stty -a
rosuav@sikorsky:~$ stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 55; columns 190; line = 0;

eol2 = M-^?; swtch = M-^?; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt =
^R; werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; flush = ^O;

(That's off a maximized window. If I restore the window, I get a more
classic 24x80.)

The same info can be queried in Python via
termios.tcgetattr()[6][termios.VEOF] but you then have to parse that
to interpret it for a human (it comes out as b'\4', which you have to
figure out means ^D). I'm not sure if there's a utility function
anywhere for "give me the human readable form of this".
