I believe that, because your PYTHONPATH will be set correctly from the command line; but possibly not from a default (basic) shell that cron uses. So, again, try putting those two statements at the top of your script, -before- the 'import feedparser' statement, and let cron do its job. You may need to redirect the output, eg 1 * * * * /usr/bin/python /path/to/script/update_feeds.py > /path/to/ script/update_feeds.log 2>&1 to get that output (I'm not sure how you got the error from the cron job; through email?) Check the log file: before the traceback, you should see the result of 'print sys.path'. Check if that includes the correct directories. >> Top of script (possibly just below the she-bang): >> >> import sys >> print sys.path >> >>>>> Traceback (most recent call last): >>>>> File "/path/to/script/update_feeds.py", line 10, in ? >>>>> import feedparser >>>>> ImportError: No module named feedparser >> >>>>> And here is the cron: >> >>>>> export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/python2.3/site-packages:/path/to/ >>>>> django/ >>>>> app >>>>> export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=myproject.settings >>>>> 1 * * * * /usr/bin/python /path/to/script/update_feeds.py >> >>>>> I'm running the cron on my Dreamhost account BTW. >> >>>> Did you try printing out the sys.path at the top of your script, so >>>> see if the PYTHONPATH is picked up correctly from the cron >>>> environment >>>> settings?
