Yes you can as Yarko explains but: 1) your app will not be portable, since it will require the other engine installed 2) You lose the ability to byte-code compile templates and distribute them in a closed-source web2py app. 3) The current web2py template engine, because of bytecode compilation and one-time parsing using only regex is faster than alternatives. 4) I will argue that other engines do not have "more features" only "more syntax to learn" (unless you consider a feature limiting what template designers can do).
Anyway, I may be wrong about 4 and I do like Genshi for example, but I fail to see the point of Jinja. Could you tell what you like about it and why you consider it superior to the default web2py one?
