Retrieve information from another python script running in background

Question

I have two scripts:

one continuosly comunicates with the gps module and refresh the gps time variable.
the second one ask me when I want to view the gps time and prints it on the console.

How can I retrieve the gps_time variable of the first script (while it running in background) from the second script?

Try to write it to a file and read from it in another script. Adding code snippets can be helpful. — Msvstl, Jul 28 '22 at 13:24
Let both scripts talk via sockets for instant sharing of gps points — Zain Ul Abidin, Jul 28 '22 at 13:25
I've just tried to write the time into a file and read it with the second script but this method is not reactive enough for my purpose. The comunication of the shared variable must be very fast! — Luca Rosignoli, Jul 28 '22 at 13:29
Ok I will try to use the socket connection, can you post some link to the documentation? — Luca Rosignoli, Jul 28 '22 at 13:30

You can do some socket programming.

Maybe you can get some idea from here: Interprocess communication in Python
