How is this relevant to the Python part?
Also, "no memory left" is not necessarily an error, it's simply a fact
of life. How to catch it depends on how you're (here, "you" means the
external process) allocating the memory - The POSIX C malloc function
will return NULL and set errno to ENOMEM, for example.
