Running python script using cron

'm trying to use a cron job to run a python script that updates feeds
on an aggregator site I'm building. But I'm getting trackback errors
telling me it can't import the module feedparser. Here's the error:

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

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

File "/path/to/script/update_feeds.py", line 10, in ?
import feedparser
ImportError: No module named feedparser

As the error indicates, you are failed to import a module. Is the module properly installed or imported?

I'm not sure how to do this in the cron job.

I can run the script fine from the command line.

That sounds a bit harsh LOL.

Nope. I just thought the comment came out a bit funny, that's all.

Sorry about my English. It should be "you failed to". I'll be more careful next time.

What is the command you used to run your script from command line?

$ python /home/user/path/to/script/update_feeds.py

I solved the issue this morning. Here is a link to my post explaining how I did it: http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/msg/aad5a64db2668d3f
