Hello!

I came across a problem in running a .exe file through ipython.
""" os.system(' ~.exe') """ was used.
The error message popped up says

Memory error: insufficient physical memory available

What should I try further?

More memory?


What's your operating system, how much memory do you have, how much
memory does ' ~.exe' (that's a weird name) need? Is your operating system
set to limit the amount of memory each process is given?

What happens if you don't use ipython but call os.system(' ~.exe') from
the normal Python prompt?
