1Are you using 64-bit Python? – user2357112 Mar 11 '14 at 07:23

MemoryError is caused by failure of underlying architecture (the C 'malloc' function) so your OS is limiting memory usage. Have you tried to optimize your program? What does your code? Try to post here – ocirocir Mar 11 '14 at 07:29

Though I have not tried it but I think this should help. Just try to increase the virtual memory size and see the effect if it resolve.Here is the explanation. Give it a go if you have time to test.
To change the virtual memory size follow these instructions:
Open System by clicking the Start button, right-clicking Computer, and then clicking Properties.
In the left pane, click Advanced system settings. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.
Click the Advanced tab, and then, under Virtual memory, click Change.
Clear the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives check box.
Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file you want to change.
Click Custom size, type a new size in megabytes in the Initial size (MB) or Maximum size (MB) box, click Set, and then click OK.
