It is probably not a python problem, but a cron problem.

When you run things from cron, then environment (that
which is referred to by the /usr/bin/env program above)
is different from the environment when you are just
manually running the program.

In your crontab, try something like ...

/usr/local/bin/python /home/lee/bin/update_pgsql.py


In other words, use absolute paths for everything.
