To debug your environment add this to /etc/crontab

* * * * * root env > ~/cronenv

Wait for file ~/cronenv to be created (after a minute) and start a new shell using does environments:

Then call your script /usr/local/bin/python3.6 /root/myscript.py

This will help to test/debug your code within the same environment cron is using.
