You can actually use Nemo alongside Django-templates. It registers a Mako template loader with Django, that by default points to your /templates directory in your folder. However you can override it by modifying MAKO_TEMPLATE_DIRS in your settings.py. MAKO_TEMPLATE_DIRS is just a tuple containing the directories to look under for Mako/Nemo files. My full project runs under Mako, but 3rd party apps, and the django admin run with django-templates.
