Hey,

I've found the problem. I'm an idiot :-D

It is required to add the line,

#!/usr/bin/python

at the beginning of the python program file. Though this is just a remark and does not cause any effect when the code is run manually, this IS required to be present when the same code is run through crontab.

Thanks,

David
