Why does the following:
frame = hou.hscriptExpression('$F')
print frame
print the frame number, but only once and not update as I press play?
$F in python

Because you're just doing that, defining ‘frame’ as the $F that you where on when you assigned the value.
if you want to make a constantly updated one, you have to make a call tot he timeline so it checks what frame it's on and it prints the frame number it's on.
With this you just made a specific assignment. Scripting 101.
