I assume that your variables are the individuals and the domains of
those variables are the rooms. Based on the python-constraint docs,
your constraint could look something like this:

from collections import Counter

ROOM_SIZE = {
    'A': 3,
    'B': 3,
    'C': 4,
    'D': 4,
    'E': 5,
}

def room_size_constraint(*v):
    counter = Counter(v.values())
    return all(count <= ROOM_SIZE[room]
            for room, count in counter.items())

problem.addConstraint(room_size_constraint)
