I am afraid that manually starting a python session with `run-python'
will be misleading. Look at how much
`org-babel-python-initiate-session-by-key' does. If users instead start
the session with `run-python' they may get inconsistent results

What about displaying a yes/no query about starting a new session when
there is none?
