Missing implementation for `send_event`

There appears to be a missing implementation for the send_event capability. The placeholder code is commented out. And there is no send_event implementation here

durabletask-python/durabletask/worker.py

Lines 819 to 820 in 8598f6b

	# elif action_type == "sendEvent":
	# return task.get_name(task.OrchestrationContext.send_event)

This would require implementing in order to deliver the SendEvent capability in the Dapr Python SDK

that is to be able to send events from inside of a workflow, right?

now that you say it I realize that durabletask-go also lacks that feature https://github.com/microsoft/durabletask-go/blob/main/task/orchestrator.go#L23

I honestly dont know how to tackle this and implement it, but I think I would be able to do it with a bit of guidance Chris Gillum (@cgillum)

That's correct Fabian Martinez (@famarting)

If you're looking for prior-art to start from, there is a sendEvent implementation in the durabletask-dotnet library
