It's neither an error message nor does it come from Python.  It's a
message from your shell about job control.  Seems you have stopped the
running process, which happens to be Python, by pressing <ctrl>+<z> or
<ctrl>-<y> for example.

Refer to the manual of your shell.  I guess it says, that the stopped
process was/is the current job, i.e. the one commands like ``fg`` or
``bg`` operate on if you leave out the argument.
