It is written by the same guy who does pySerial.  However it is particularly
bad for BitPim's purposes.

The BitPim code (specifically the analyser) needs a way of highlighting
byte ranges.  It also needs to operate on the data in memory, although maybe
that one takes StringIOs.  

Bizarrely it doesn't seem to have an insert vs replace mode.

For the BitPim one, I need the following functionality:

 - insert and replace mode
 - limiting range of bytes that can be editted (thereby
   providing an easy way to let people overwrite
   "Verizon Wireless" in various files)

There is probably a bit of NIH going on as well, but I feel it is
justified :-)

If noone volunteers, I will do it myself.
