   Closing -- this is already supported. server.datasources.update(datasource_item) emits the name attribute on the payload when it is set on the DatasourceItem.

   See tableauserverclient/server/request_factory.py:207 (DatasourceRequest.update_req):

   if datasource_item.name:
       datasource_element.attrib["name"] = datasource_item.name

   Usage:

   ds = server.datasources.get_by_id(datasource_id)
   ds.name = "new name"
   server.datasources.update(ds)
