I think your method is the easiest way.
It almost certainly isn't easier than installing ssmtp. Everything that you'd have to to to get ssmtp to work you will also need to do to that python code, plus you have to manually send email for every job where you need it.
Should I APPEND the PATH of the script (/root/send_email.py) to /root/scripts/backup.sh file. ?
I just ran this script (i.e - /root/send_email.py). It worked. I got the email. But no subject there. How can I add a subject called " CRON JOB OUTPUT " to the email receive .
You're going to have to create your own RFC compliant headers. See how that's already more complicated than using ssmtp? (Cron already does that work if you install an MTA, such as ssmtp)
