Having the same question here. So far, no way of caching the Service account auth from Python.

I made some changes to geeup.py, tuploader.py, and batch_uploader.py where I replace ee.Initialize() with an optional argument so it can take that as the default or use an optional initialization like below. I am willing to set it up as a pull request after I add some details and documentation about it. What do you think @samapriya?

    credentials = ee.ServiceAccountCredentials(gee_account, gee_key)
    gee_session = ee.Initialize(credentials)

Does your changes work, @jordancaraballo? Can I clone your new copy?
