Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/tom/Desktop/project/bot.py", line 5, in <module>
    from selenium import webdriver
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'selenium'

selenium is installed with pip3 and in cron tab i have this lines for run my script:

I've had similar crontab problems like this before that ended up being caused by missing environment variables. crontab doesn't have access to the same environment variables as your console. The answer here recommends something like:

19 * * * * . $HOME/.profile; /usr/bin/python3 /home/tom/Desktop/project/bot.py > /tmp/birdz_bot.txt 2>&1
