The Pythonic way to do things like that is to write
the producer as a generator, and the consumer as a
loop that iterates over it. Or the consumer as a
generator, and the producer as a loop that send()s
things into it.

To do it symmetrically, you would need to write them
both as generators (or async def functions or whatever)
plus a mini event loop to tie the two together.
