The entry
0 * * * * /home/ec2-user/python-scripts/master.py
Is causing the following error:
sh: python3: command not found
My script has the shebang at the top:
#!/usr/local/bin/python3
I think the python3 path is correct:
[ec2-user@ip-152-31-33-105 cron.hourly]$ /usr/local/bin/python3 Python 3.4.3 (default, Mar 17 2016, 20:37:33) [GCC 4.8.3 20140911 (Red Hat 4.8.3-9)] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>>
As suggested, I looked for a CR but none found:

Answer
Make sure the end-of-line does not contains Carriage return, but only new line.
od -t x1 /home/ec2-user/python-scripts/master.py # If there's 0d in the output, it's a carriage return (r, CR)
If there’s carriage return, the characters is also considered as a part of the executable path.
To remove CR, you can use tools like dos2unix.
If you don’t want to use dos2unix, you can use python:
$ /usr/local/bin/python3 -c
'f = open("/home/ec2-user/python-scripts/master.py", "r+b");
s = f.read().replace(b"r", b""); f.seek(0); f.write(s); f.close()'
