I've been using pip to install other packages and it works perfectly (ex. for numpy). However when downloading/installing seaborn I get an
unexpected error. I'm installing on a Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian GNU/Linux 9.4 (stretch), and am using Python 3.5.3

Pretty straightforward code:

pip install seaborn

Which outputs this:

Which is immediately followed by this error:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

looks like it ran out of memory before it could finish.
How much is available?
worked fine for me:

I'm using a 32GB SD card and haven't installed very much on it, plus I'm able to install other packages without running into memory issues. But I'm also a newbie, so I apologize if I'm overlooking something from the above disk usage info.

try:

df /usr/lib

which is where you are installing
