         out.append(line.split('/')[0].rstrip())  # so as to get ['ADD D1', ...] not ['ADD D1  ', ...]

A nit ;-)

Alternatively, if you have 2.2,

 >>> [x.split('/',1)[0].rstrip() for x in file('file.asm')]
 ['ADD D1', 'LDA D2']


where the file is
 >>> file('file.asm').readlines()
 ['ADD D1  /coment1\n', 'LDA D2  /coment2']

Oops. Well, the missing final \n didn't hurt.
