ok. i found the answer and thought i'd post it in case anyone else runs
into this. the environment variables under the cron user(root on this
system) did not included /usr/local/bin which is where python was installed.
doing a:
ln -s /usr/local/bin/python /usr/bin/python
fixed it. i expect change the paths for root would similarily work.
