If not, perhaps we can add this functionality

@MrPowers based on my research renaming a table currently is only supported with delta+spark. Seems like our only option would be to use the write_deltalake with the overwrite option and rename the table at that point. https://delta-io.github.io/delta-rs/python/usage.html#writing-delta-tables , seem like a heavy-handed approach but our only option with the python standalone reader that I can tell.

If you agree let me know and I can implement that.
