As always, Alan has given a lot of great advice and useful information.
There's just one piece at the end I would question, however:

Almost, but not quite. The backticks mean the command is executed and
the output substituted back on the command line. The < bracket means to
take what follows it as a file NAME (not a data stream). So unless
writer.py outputs a filename, you really want something like
python writer.py | python reader.py
