Strictly speaking, @ is not an operator.
It delimits a decorator statement (in python statements and operations are
not the same thing).
However, to answer the question you actually asked, yes, all the time.

For specific examples, see:
pytest's fixtures
contextlib.contextmanager (makes creating context managers mich simpler in
most cases)
@property @classmethod etc. etc. (I sometimes see these used a bit too
freely, when a plain attribute or a function at the module level would be
more appropriate)
