I would recommend, do not do it this way.

On an abstract level, I recommend to use a communication channel
between your "a" and your "b". "a" writes to it and "b" reads from it.

There are many, many options for such a communication channel.

One of the easiest would be to realisize "a" and "b" as tasks
in a single Python process which use a queue as communication channel.
The big advantage: "a" and "b" can communicate directly via python
objects.

Another option would be to implement the communication channel
via an external queue or file; in those cases, the Python object
created by "a" would need to be serialized (to be put into
the communication channel) and derialized (i.e. recreated) again by "b".
