Import error in scheduled file

Hi, a script that have to be scheduled uses RoboBrowser which is installed in virtualenv. So, I put '#!/usr/bin/env python3.3' hash-bang on the top of the file. When I run it the following exception is raised:

Traceback (most recent call last):                                                                                                                                              
  File "/home/gestionebeb/bebwebsite/bebapp/schedule.py", line 7, in <module>                                                                                                   
    from robobrowser import RoboBrowser                                                                                                                                         
ImportError: No module named 'robobrowser'

Here are the first lines of code:

#!/usr/bin/env python3.3

import re
import time
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from robobrowser import RoboBrowser
......

Where is the problem? Thanks

You're not actually using your virtualenv in that script. That link jgmdavies gave has details about how to make sure your task uses your virtualenv.
