crontab can not running python script

Question

I use centOS, at command line, I execute >./tv.py script and it runs correctly.

But, when I include into /etc/crontab, entry */30 * * * * /root/tv.py ， it does not.

What am I doing wrong?

This is the head of script:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

Does the file have executable file permissions?

@BrendanAbel Yes, I did chmod 777 tv.py before.

We need more information to troubleshoot this issue. Namely, you will need to monitor /var/log/syslog and spot errors regarding that cronjob. It is probably also good practice to output an error log for this job.
