So what type of file is this? Is it a DTML file or a Page Template? You
cannot use both. You need to decide whether you use DTML or TAL and
create an file of the correct type accordingly.

You though might keep in the TAL space and write
<tal:block tal:define="dummy
python:request.set('user',AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName())" />

<dtml-var user> might be straightforward to convert to TAL e.g.

tal:attributes="value name"

(however name is defined.)
Though probably you don't need to set it in the request anyway and just
can define it as normal variable on top and then use it later.
