Also, can I run the produce/consume just by calling produce()? My impression is that with asyncio I need an event loop - which "traditional" coroutines don't need.

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.
