I'm not Catholic but I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

Playing games with religious themes is also not a sin, as you are expected to understand the difference between fact and fiction.

My source is that one of my best friends is Catholic

If they understood the difference between fact and fiction they wouldn't be a catholic. They're supposed to believe that crackers and wine literally turn into Jesus's body and blood by saying an incantation. Alchemy makes more sense than that, so I could see some people having issues.

I grew up Catholic. The answer might be yes because weird things are considered sins, but there's a built in mechanism for getting around that.

Confession is used for way worse things than "I used the devil's tool at the instruction of my teacher"

Side note if you can't figure out how to use psycopg2 in a 5 line tutorial you have even less ability than you thought you did
