Fix: Example of SimPy event that is triggered but not processed

 In SimPy, events are typically created and triggered when some condition is met, and then they are processed by processes or components in your simulation. However, you can create a scenario where an event is triggered but not processed, usually leading to a blocked or stalled simulation. Here's a simple example of this:


```python

import simpy


def event_generator(env, event):

    yield env.timeout(1)

    print(f"Triggering event at time {env.now}")

    event.succeed()


def event_processor(env, event):

    try:

        yield event

        print(f"Event processed at time {env.now}")

    except simpy.Interrupt:

        print(f"Event interrupted at time {env.now}")


env = simpy.Environment()

my_event = env.event()


env.process(event_generator(env, my_event))

env.process(event_processor(env, my_event))


env.run(until=5)

```


In this example:


1. An event named `my_event` is created but is not initially processed.


2. The `event_generator` process triggers the event after 1 unit of simulation time.


3. The `event_processor` process tries to wait for the event to be triggered using `yield event`. If the event is not triggered by the time it reaches that point, it will block.


4. We run the simulation for 5 units of time, and you will see that the event is triggered but not processed within that time frame.


The `try...except` block in the `event_processor` process allows handling an `Interrupt` exception if the event isn't processed, which you can use to take specific actions or log the event not being processed.


This example demonstrates a situation where an event is triggered but not processed, which can occur in complex simulations when the timing or order of events is critical.
