I played with RobotPy a little, and here's a problem I encountered. When our code exits due to some error, it waits 5 seconds and then starts our script again, which is how we load new code.

However, when it's an actual error, not an intentional interrupt for new code, while we look at the source and fix the problem it keeps on restarting every 5 seconds. Eventually it crashes with some memory error and we have to restart the robot. (I don't have the output in front of me; I'll try and reproduce it so I can post the exact error.)

Has anyone else had this issue? How can I prevent it from doing this?

I will fix this in the first 2011 release (Wednesday at the latest). What I will do is handle the restart/reload exception specially; any other exception will result in ending the user program (requiring a full robot reboot).
