Custom Command Error- How to resolve or logout via python?

I am building a custom command that pulls data from a Redis DB.  When I return (yield) a large number of results (350k+) from the custom command, I receive the following error:

EOF while attempting to read transport header read_size=0
Error in <commandname> command: External search command exited unexpectedly with non-zero error code 9.
 
If this problem is hard to answer directly on here since it's a custom solution, can you point me a method for logging out the system resource usage via Python (e.g., available memory, CPU usage, etc)?
 
Thank you!
