asdf python shell unable to fetch environment variables

[codingCoffee]

python scripts are unable to pick up environment variables. I'm not sure if this is expected or a bug. But wanted to know if there is a way to work around this?

➜ echo $MY_VAR
/Users/cc/.pkb/personal/Books.org

➜ which python
/Users/cc/.asdf/shims/python

➜ python
