Stream reader could defer raising exceptions to end of input buffer

[liamw9534]

Just a thought but you might want to consider allowing the stream reader to defer parsing exceptions rather than raising them immediately to the caller. The problem with raising the exceptions immediately is that you then drop out and lose the remainder of the stream buffer even though it might contain legitimate data after an item that caused the parser to fail.

I second this suggestion.

As a quick workaround for my project, I added a second, optional parameter to NMEASentence's parse() (in nmea.py):

parse(line, check=False, stopIfParseError=True):

If the parser fails, instead of raising an error, it returns None and continues with the data stream.

Stream.py's call to parse() would have stopIfParseError=False.
