I just spent a few minutes experimenting, and it seems that the 
following code does what you would like:

import msnp
import time

class MsnListener(msnp.SessionCallbacks):
     def friend_list_updated(self, friend_list):
         print 'Got friend list update:', friend_list.lists

msn = msnp.Session(MsnListener())
msn.login('xxxxxxxx at xxxx.com', 'xxxxxxx')
msn.sync_friend_list()

while True:
     msn.process()
     time.sleep(1)
