Python Subprocess Crontab Problem

[Chris Wojo]

crontab isn't using a PATH for your specified user, so you need to give an absolute path.

I can't remember offhand, but I don't think you can do that. 
I think you may need to fully specify the PATH instead of using $PATH.

Can you add right here: 
 print("PATH: %s" % os.environ['PATH'], file=errors) 
 
and see what the PATH is in your errors file?
