"""This is an example that uses the (prototype) Logic Object Space. To run,
you have to set USE_GREENLETS in pypy.objspace.logic to True and do:
  
    $ py.py -o logic producerconsumer.py

newvar creates a new unbound logical variable. If you try to access an unbound
variable, the current uthread is blocked, until the variable is bound.
