Keyboard into daemonized Python script

How can I insert keyboard input into a daemonized process in Debian?
Background: (At a headless raspberry pi,) I want to run a python3 script at startup (via @reboot in crontab) which is waiting for a keyboard input to control another process. Auto-Login to a shell is enabled. The keyboard input is actually a NFC card which is read and gives a number as keyboard output.
Problem: The input is only processed in the current shell and does nothing. Can this be forwarded to the script/daemon?

It could help because it sounds very similar to my problem, if only I could understand what I would need to do ;) Guess I need more reading on the subject.

I came as far as loading a device and grabbing exclusive access with Python's. evdev. How do I actually read an input from it then?
