Connection aborted error 10053 after running the code for longer duration.

[Prashant30]

While getting the followers list of any famous handle I am getting the following error after 2-3 time frames(i.e, 15+15+15 mins).
My code goes like this:

*importing and OAuth*

api = tweepy.API(auth, wait_on_rate_limit=True)
users = tweepy.Cursor(api.followers, screen_name = 'realmadrid', count = 200).items()
with open('madrid_Followers.txt','a') as f:
    while True:
        user = next(users)
        f.write(user.screen_name)
        f.write('\n')
        print(user.screen_name)

after 2-3 time frames or 30-45 mins I am getting the following error:

Please help me out with this. I am using Windows 7, python 3.4 and tweepy 3.6. I tried this code with both IDLE as well as Windows Powershell but still no luck. I also tried the code with time.sleep(15*60) but again same issue prevails. Next, I checked my connection which is also working fine.
