I really appreciate to both Ulich and Oscar.

My actual error message is:
File "/lustre/work/apps/python-2.7.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scipy/interpolate/interpolate.py", line 311, in __init__
    self._spline = splmake(x,oriented_y,order=order)
  File "/lustre/work/apps/python-2.7.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scipy/interpolate/interpolate.py", line 809, in splmake
    coefs = func(xk, yk, order, conds, B)
  File "/lustre/work/apps/python-2.7.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scipy/interpolate/interpolate.py", line 530, in _find_smoothest
