Description
A couple of Beam users mentioned a usecase where some initialization code needs to run on Python workers before pipeline processing starts.
Such code needs to be executed run early in the main() method of python worker[1].
Java SDK has provides this capability via JvmInitializer [2], BEAM-6872. Let's add such capability for Python users as well.
