Hi
I just want to use the Python part to catch this event as an error
try:
     subprocess<>
except ERROR:

I just wanted to know if there is any special error that I can use to catch
this error?
THanks

How is this relevant to the Python part?

Also, "no memory left" is not necessarily an error, it's simply a fact
of life. How to catch it depends on how you're (here, "you" means the
external process) allocating the memory - The POSIX C malloc function
will return NULL and set errno to ENOMEM, for example.
