How to handle (ignore) comments?

[Marcus9K720]

I have to parse a lua file which only has a table, but it has comments here and there.
luadata parses everything great but it seems doesnt handle comments...

src = """t = {
	['a'] = 1000, -- hello
	['b'] = {
	},
	['c'] = 'stable',
}"""
print(luadata.unserialize(src))

{'t': {'a': 1000, 1: '--', 2: 'hello', 'b': [''], 'c': 'stable'}}

Maybe I am missing something but I need your help!
