When I try to run runp from crontab, e.g. with 50 * * * * runp hello.py test >> hello.txt 2>&1 it fails and I get the following error: /bin/sh: 1: runp: not found How can I fix this?

I am trying to use runp with a python script that runs the camera on a raspberrypi with picamera. Although this works with python and in the script, I always get an error with runp:
picamera.exc.PiCameraRuntimeError: Cannot query frame information when camera is not recording

The script is as simple as

from picamera import PiCamera
from time import sleep

def test():
        camera = PiCamera()
        camera.start_preview()
        camera.start_recording('/home/pi/video.h264')
        sleep(10)
        camera.stop_recording()
        camera.stop_preview()

and the code I run: runp test.py test

I could install runp using pip, but it did not work right away. Besides the need to add parentheses to print statements, I found this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
[...]
File "[...]/lib/python3.6/site-packages/runp/runp.py", line 15, in filter_vars
    methods = inspect.getmembers(obj(), predicate=inspect.ismethod)

... for which a solution was to change obj() to obj. I am not knowledgeable enough to say this is the right solution, perhaps someone else could shed some light. With the above changes runp seems to work okay and continues to be a nifty little tool.
