Ouch, that's not fun. I've never actually seen Python bsod by itself.
My first guesses are:

1) It's a buggy library that you're using with Python. Do you know
what modules your code calls on? Mainly ones that aren't part of the
standard library.

2) It's unrelated, but maybe triggered somehow. For instance, your
Python program might be consuming a lot of RAM, which causes a problem
when you make use of a faulty bit of memory somewhere in the higher
addresses.

Have you run a RAM test on that machine? This is a well-respected one:

Alternatively, can you narrow the problem down to a particular script
that will repeatedly cause the BSOD?
