Looking into my crystal ball, I'm wondering if perhaps what you're
asking is for your cron job to have environment variables that aren't
set by cron, ones that you can see in your bash environment. This is a
common issue (usually with $PATH), and by no means Python-specific. A
quick web search will bring up some results, for instance:

http://www.google.com/search?q=cron+environment+variables
http://duckduckgo.com/?q=cron+environment+variables
http://www.bing.com/search?q=cron+environment+variables

If this isn't what you're asking about, please consider clarifying
your question :)
