Yes, it most certainly is!

It's in section 11.2 of the manual, "#compiler-settings".  What you want 
is "directiveStartToken".  You can use it in a template like so:

  #compiler-settings
  directiveStartToken = @
  #end compiler-settings

  @def foo
  some stuff
  @end def

Or better yet, you can add a compilerSettings argument when instantiating 
a Template object, like so:

  t = Template(text, compilerSettings={'directiveStartToken' : '@'})

Enjoy!
