How to run a python script with CRON on Debian?

Question

I want to run a script in every X hours, that's why I wrote a BASH (named as mybash.sh) what is calling this script like this :

#!/bin/bash PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/src/Python-2.7.13 python /usr/src/Python-2.7.13/test1.py

This bash file is in my /usr/src/Python-2.7.13 , and my test1.py too. If I am running the sh mybash.sh it is running! I did chmod a+x mybash too.

Into the crontab-e I wrote that:

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/src/Python-2.7.13 
* * * * * /usr/src/Python-2.7.13/mybash.sh 2>&1

If I am calling the crontab-l I am seeing these lines there.

But my script not running..What am I missed?

EDIT1 - cat /etc/crontab

# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
# and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,
# that none of the other crontabs do.

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

# m h dom mon dow user  command
17 *    * * *   root    cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
25 6    * * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
47 6    * * 7   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly )
52 6    1 * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )

You could simple invoke python in the crontab

* * * * * [path/to/py/executable] [path/to/py/script]

Remember to specify the complete path to executable due to restricted variables in cron environment.
