Some languages need to generate code before shapes are generated. Previously such languages could have used the service generation hook to perform this, but that was moved to occur after generating the other shapes.
Python particularly needs this because the language has this cool feature where it can't intelligently resolve everything at the top level of a file. For example, you have to define a parent class earlier in the file than any subclasses. Python generates service-specific errors so this is fairly critical.
