What is @ used for?

I was looking through Pybliographer's source yesterday, and I dont
recognize this syntax:

version = "@version@"
progname = "@package@"

Presumably, this is reading values from somewhere. I havent seen '@'
discussed in the python manuals or books, only IPython's magic
functions. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place. Could anyone point
me in the right direction?

It looks like a special string used by an external application working with
the source code.
CVS for example replaces (better expands) some keywords between $ characters
with information like version, author or history.
AFAIK there is no special meaning in Python.
