This is something that we needed in the courses that we are teaching 
with Python and robots; it is too painful to have to reconnect to the 
robot each time you load new code. Of course, this is only needed when 
you are running with subprocesses. This makes running with subprocesses 
and without subprocesses more consistent with each other. The relevant 
diffs are below. (Let me know if you want more information.)
