Support for comment character
Altough it is not normally supported by the .hex format, many vendors embed comments in their .hex file, which make them impossible to parse by IntelHex unless pre-cleaned programmatically.
It would be nice to be able to specify an optional comment character (;, #, --) that would make the parser ignore any line starting with it.
Or maybe ignore everything not starting with a record delimiter.
Sorry for not working on your issue. I'm looking for a new maintainer for Python IntelHex project. I hope someone will help.
I agree with pylessard, add an option to ignore every lien not starting with ":", or skip any error. Any logging captured will have some junk characters at the beginning and end. An other option to solve this, is to merge/add data to the IntelHex object from a string. With python one could easily run through every line of a file, and add it to the object when it starts with ":".
