Pyznap won't run on Ubuntu server 22.04

It is a superb tool, but I cannot get it to run on Ubuntu Server 22.04. I installed it with pip install pyznap but when run, I get this:

# /usr/local/bin/pyznap snap

Hey. You need to remove the comments from the config file :). It cannot detect them and thus parses the entire line, so also reads the part after # as value in the config.

Fantastic. Thanks so much!
