Is this sort of a constraint implementable in Python?

My objective is to minimize the number of nodes. I have got one of the weirdest looking constraints which I don't know how to express in Python because python basically takes matrices and inputs them into cplex. My constraint is as below. This was what I wrote in AMPL

This is more a CPLEX question than a Python question.  (Or rather a 
question about some Python/Cplex interface.) Do you have access to any 
kind of a CPLEX forum or a Cplex-via-Python forum?  I think that's much 
more likely to get you an answer.
