paho-MQTT python: How to let the loop_forever support subscribe message?
<p>I have tested the example program on paho-mqtt, and I know that the function loop_forever() can handles reconnecting. But my question is that, although loop_forever() can reconnect, it cannot re-subscribe. It should be a problem when the server suddenly crashes, in this case, the client is still listening, but when the server is restarted, the client can reconnect, but cannot subscribe message any more. I think maybe I should re-write the loop_forever() function, but I am not sure if I were right, and how to do it.</p>

    import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt

    # If you have the module installed, just use "import paho.mqtt.client"

        sys.path.insert(0, cmd_subfolder)
