Seems to me that this is more of a shell thing...

First of all, it is always a good idea to call applications with their full
path from cronjobs:

/usr/bin/python /home/xxx/script.py or whatever the output of your "which
python" may be.

How did you create the cronjob? Dependending on the editor you used, maybe
there is a missing newline...
