Incomplete Output from Python cmd in a Bash script

Its my first post here. I'm creating a simple bash script which should run a python command and mail the output. However, everytime the script is running via cron, half of the python output is missing. Whereas If I run the same script manually on shell, everything works as expected.

The bash script is:

#!/usr/local/bin/python3

echo $(/usr/local/bin/python3 /home/tech2/myscript_v3_4-3.py -rs) > /home/tech2/weeklyreportoutput.txt

sleep 180

echo "Data Generated on $(date +%T_%d_%m_%y)" | mail -s "Data for Weekly SYNC $(date +%A_%F_%T)" -a /home/tech2/weeklyreportoutput.txt [email protected]

Note: The python script runs max for 10 seconds and output is not more than 100 lines. I've also tried without echo but in that case python doesn't runs with -rs argument. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!
