LaTeX (or pdfLaTeX) ran out of memory; how can I fix it?
--------------------------------------------------------
This is known to be a problem at least on Mac OS X, but it has been
observed on other systems in the past.
On some systems, the default sizes of some of the memory pools
allocated by TeX needs to be changed; this is a configuration setting
for installations based on web2c (most if not all installations).
This is usually set in a file named texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf (where the
top-level texmf/ directory is part of the TeX installation). If you
get a "buffer overflow" warning from LaTeX, open that configuration
file and look for the "main_memory.pdflatex" setting. If there is not
one, you can add a line with the setting. The value 1500000 seems to
be sufficient for formatting the Python documetantion.
What if Times fonts are not available?
