Hi, BEAM-1441 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-1441> is a ticket for implementing the Beam File System in the Python SDK similar to the one introduced in BEAM-59 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-59>. I tried to take a pass on the implementation in #2136 <https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/2136> and followed the Java API as closely as possible. Please feel free to give your comments here or on the pull request directly.
