Certainly - all of the commands that calculate or optimize the total 
energy/score of the system take a schedule_scale argument. This is a 
physical.values object, which can scale different groups of restraints. 
For example, to more strongly weight the xy_distance restraints you 
could say

sel.energy(schedule_scale=physical.values(default=1.0,
                                          xy_distance=10.0))
