This sounds like a simple out-of-memory error. Check the "about this
mac" window to see whether the Python partition is indeed completely
filled up (or almost filled up: the window isn't always completely
up-to-date) when the error occurs. If so: give Python more space with
the "info" dialog in the finder.
