I don't know that I can help you, but anyone who helps is going to need
more information. 
Is there a chance you ran out of memory?  How much memory does your 
system have?

Is there enough disk space?  How large are the partitions?

The error above means that python was not able to read or write to either
the disk or memory.  I guess there isn't any way to capture the message,
but that would be an important clue as to what went wrong.  Did you notice
anything about the code that failed?  Python usually prints the failing 
instruction
on traceback.
