It seems that Python is missing for an unknown reason or was not installed by my cloud provider to save the disk space. ImportError: DLL load failed while importing win32file: The specified module could not be found. Note: This Python script needs to be executable so change the permissions on it to allow for that, I just ran a chmod 777 cron_test.
I would suggest you refer to similar case below: 3 is Available for Crontab Tasks? Python + Cron Job not working.
Cron python module not found Using cron, I usually run the programs under another user (user2).
