How do I send Ansible output to a Python script?

Question

Below I have the Ansible YAML file:

- name: "script1"
  command: /home/test/script1.py
  register: output

- name: "script2"
  command: /home/test/script2.py

I need script2.py to see the output of script1.

How would I pass the values from Ansible to script2?

command's stdin parameter should do the trick:

- name: "script1"
  command: /home/test/script1.py
  register: output


- name: "script2"
  command: /home/test/script2.py
  args:
    stdin: "{{ output.stdout }}"

Thanks so the command module does not work with my python script so I am usin the shell module instead which does work but still cannot send a variable
