How can we develop the google earthengine based app in Python in our local machine?

I read the documentation of google earth engine. And I also see the github repo of the Earthengine api. I am exactly following the documentation. In my project file I added config.py file with my service account id and the privatekey.json file. I already write the following code and run it through terminal. 

import ee
service_account = '<my-service-account-id>@tekson.iam.gserviceaccount.com'
credentials = ee.ServiceAccountCredentials(service_account, 'privatekey.json')
ee.Initialize(credentials)

But it doesn't get initialized the earthengine. It always shows the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/tekson/gee/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ee/data.py", line 338, in _execute_cloud_call
    return call.execute(num_retries=num_retries)
  File "/home/tekson/gee/lib/python3.6/site-packages/googleapiclient/_helpers.py", line 130, in positional_wrapper
    return wrapped(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/home/tekson/gee/lib/python3.6/site-packages/googleapiclient/http.py", line 856, in execute
    raise HttpError(resp, content, uri=self.uri)
googleapiclient.errors.HttpError: <HttpError 403 when requesting https://earthengine.googleapis.com/v1alpha/projects/earthengine-legacy/algorithms?prettyPrint=false&alt=json returned "Permission denied.">

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "config.py", line 4, in <module>
    ee.Initialize(credentials)
  File "/home/tekson/gee/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ee/__init__.py", line 123, in Initialize
    ApiFunction.initialize()
  File "/home/tekson/gee/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ee/apifunction.py", line 154, in initialize
    signatures = data.getAlgorithms()
  File "/home/tekson/gee/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ee/data.py", line 969, in getAlgorithms
    return _cloud_api_utils.convert_algorithms(_execute_cloud_call(call))
  File "/home/tekson/gee/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ee/data.py", line 340, in _execute_cloud_call
    raise _translate_cloud_exception(e)
ee.ee_exception.EEException: Permission denied.

I don't understand how to use google service account. I also want to develop this app in Django later. Please anyone help me how can I fix this?

If ee.Authenticate() works but ee.Initialize() gives you a permission denied error, it might be because you have a tracking blocker addon installed on chrome. Ghostery and EFF Privacy Badger are ones that have given me this error. After I turned them off, no error.

Your service account needs to be verified by Google to use service account. Alternatively, for development purpose locally just use ee.Authenticate() to authenticate your GEE account and ee.Initialize() to initialize it.
