Thanks for all the help folks!
I solved the issue this morning by running the python script via a
BASH script that source my BASH_PROFILE, which contains exports my
PYTHONPATH.
Here is what the script looked like:
#!/bin/bash
. ~/.bash_profile
/usr/bin/python

Hi,
OK, write a small script that runs you python job.
Try running the job from the shell:
/usr/bin/python -v /path/to/script/update_feeds.py
This will list all the import statements, so find your imports that
fail in the cron job ...
And then your script would be:
#!/bin/sh
PYTHONPATH=

Your script did run (you thought it completely failed), but -only- up
the 'import feedparser' part. Anything before that ('print sys.path')

OK, I'm getting a different error now:
Traceback (most recent call last):

OK, I did what you instructed and checked the log file, which did
contain the system path and the traceback about the "can't import
module...".
I see the paths specified don't contain the path to the feedparser
module, which explains the error. My question is how do I add this
path in the cron,

I believe that, because your PYTHONPATH will be set correctly from the
command line; but
Hopefully, it will print the path before the import statement fails,
and also log the error message that cron generates to a log. So it
does matter if you print the sys.path, because that could tell you
that the location of your feedparser module isn't on that path. I
don't know about dreamhost,
I'm sorry, but I still don't understand what this will do here.
The cron can't run the script because it can't import the feedparser
module or the models from my app. So it doesn't matter if I print the
system path. Again, my problem is getting the python script to run
from the cron in the first

Do you have a link to more information about Django-cron? How do I go
about using this?

If I add it to the script, and then run the script from the command
line, it prints what's on my python path and then runs the script as
normal.
But that's never been the issue. The

Again: did you print the sys.path?
The 'cd' is not going to work, unless your modules are relative to
the
Unfortunately, I get the same traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "update_feeds.py", line 10, in ?
import feedparser
ImportError: No module named feedparser
Any idea how to import the module within the cron?

I ran into problems like that using cron and instead of trying to
locate the real error in the paths (we were about to go live ...), I
simple changed the cron line to read:
1 * * * * cd /path/to/script; /usr/bin/python update_feeds.py
Why don't you try that and see if it helps...

Well part of the problem is that the script itself works fine. I can
run from the command line without a hitch. But when I try to run it
via the cron, I get the traceback about the feedparser module.

Top of script (possibly just below the she-bang):
import sys
print sys.path
>>> Traceback (most recent call last):
>>> File "/path/to/script/update_feeds.py", line 10, in ?
>>> import feedparser
>>> ImportError: No module named
No, I haven't tried that. How would I go about citing that?

I'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
