1. Test your wget command outside of cron so that you only have on set
of errors to deal with at a time.

Use it from the command line until you get the right results, 
experimenting with usernames until things work as expected; it sounds
like you have only a few choices, so it shouldn't be too difficult to
try

wget --http-user='xyz' http://path/to/my/pythonscript

with each of them. 


2. Once you have it working from the command line, then try to put it
into your cron script. Use the full path to wget (like
/usr/local/bin/wget, although this will depend on your system).
