"MemoryError" means: the Python process wants more memory from the
operating system than this can give.

Your options:

  *  increase the memory resources (RAM, swap space) of your system

  *  check the memory related configuration of your operating system
     (there may be a limit for memory allocated to processes -
     try to increase this)

  *  change your algorithm such that less memory is needed
