"MemoryError" means that Python cannot get sufficent memory
from the operating system.


You have already found out one mistake. Should you continue to
get "MemoryError" after this is fixed, then your system does not
provide enough resources (memory) to solve the problem at hand.
You would need to find a way to provide more resources.
