Python OutOfMemoryError (Java Heap Space)?

[lexf0704]

To be honest, I have no idea what this means. I was trying a new function for my homework and got this message. I have a windows laptop.
Here's my code and the error at the bottom. Please let me know if you know how to fix this! I'm a biochemistry major I have no idea how this works.

def test6 (picture):
for p in getPixels(picture):
red = getRed(p)
green = getGreen(p)
blue = getBlue(p)
color = makeColor(blue, red, green)
setColor(p,color)

fileName=pickAFile()
myPicture=makePicture(fileName)
explore(myPicture)

======= Loading Program =======

test6(myPicture)
The error was: Java heap space
A Python OutOfMemoryError happened while running your program, so it stopped.
Please check line 2 of C:\Users\lxf07\OneDrive\Python\test6.py

Your picture is too big for memory. Try a smaller picture to see if it works, or maybe use an external program to scale your picture down. There are ways of getting Java to allocate more memory to JES, but it involves editing the source code. - Mark
