It looks like this is supported now (october 2018): although it's not documented in the 'Retrieving Data' guide, you can find the needed functionality in the API reference. I tested it and it works like this:

def listener(event):
    print(event.event_type)  # can be 'put' or 'patch'
    print(event.path)  # relative to the reference, it seems
    print(event.data)  # new data at /reference/event.path. None if deleted

firebase_admin.db.reference('my/data/path').listen(listener)
