BCVTB: How to run something before the SDF director starts?

I'm thinking of parsing some stuff out of my EnergyPlus file in order to have a more flexible workflow (using Eppy), that includes filling out the typical "timeStep" and "endTime" variables that are used in all of the E+ examples that ship with the Building Control Virtual Test Bed.

How can I effectively run my script before the proper simulation integrated with E+ actually starts?
