Rename a Column name in a specific Table in SQL from Python

I'm trying to rename a column name in SQL-Server from Python.

Code

def ModifeingColumnName():
    try:
        myconn = mysql.connector.connect(host ="localhost" , user = "root" , password = "", database = "test")
        mycurs = myconn.cursor()
        mycurs.execute('''EXEC SP_RENAME 'test_table.Name','First_Name','COLUMN' ''')
        myconn.commit()
        print('changed successfully!')
    except:
        print('failed!')

Issue

It doesn't work. It always reached the except block.

What's the problem?

I'm using SQL and here is the error when i remove the try block :

mysql.connector.errors.ProgrammingError: 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'EXEC SP_RENAME 'test.Name','First_Name','COLUMN'' at line

you can use it like this:

# Establish connection to MySQL database
import mysql.connector
  
db = mysql.connector.connect(
  host="localhost", # your host
  user="root", # your username
  password="root123", # your password
  database = "meow" # name of the database
  )
  

mycursor = db.cursor() # cursor() method is used to create a cursor object
  
query = "ALTER TABLE persons RENAME COLUMN PersonID TO Emp_Id;" # query to rename column
mycursor.execute(query) # execute the query
  
# close the Connection
db.close()
