Python's matplotlib/basemap error message

I use py2.7 with the free version of EPD for windows, I have a procedure that uses NetCDF4 to read data and I use basemap 1.0.5 from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib-toolkits/

when I plot my figure it works well few times at first then I get the following error message, the problem is resolved when I restart (close and open again) the EPD until it appears again. Could it be a bug in matplotlib? and how to solve the problem? Thank you

You need to free up some memory (you're getting a MemoryError). You could do this by deleting any no longer needed variables and, if you've got figures that you no longer need, closing those with plt.close(figure) (close documentation can be found http://matplotlib.org/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.close).
