Python cannot access environment variables when run via Cron

Question

I have a number of environment variables set, which I utilize in python scripts. When I run manually it works without a problem. When I schedule it to run via Cron, the variables do not return anything. I am using MacOS to develop and anticipate to automate this on a Raspberry Pi eventually.

Without having to create new variables inline (which will require two places to update) how can I utilize environment variables in python scripts when run via Cron?
