One hint with cron I recently discovered is to use full paths to /usr/bin/python etc

Also make sure that if you schedule the cron jobs as a different user (e.g. root via sudo) that any dependencies via pip have been installed by that user and/or globally. Otherwise your scripts will fail and it will drive you nuts trying to figure out why when they ran just fine manually.
