It'll run half duplex automatically if you enable "auto_tr" mode...
...And benchmark_{rx,tx} are already set to do that.
See line 73 in receive_path.py and line 99 in transmit_path.py (line
numbers are from the trunk.)

"Auto T/R" (Automatic Transmit/Receiver switching) handles it for you.
With Auto T/R enabled, the receiver runs unless there are samples in
the Transmit FIFO. This is handled in the FGPA.
See the USRP FAQ and look at the inline docs in usrp_standard.h and
usrp_basic.h. These two files implement the fundamental interface to
the USRP. Almost all of that interface is available in Python.
