It's really as minimal as the docs show, though. You connect to an FTP
server:

  import ftplib
  conn = ftplib.FTP("my.host.com", "user", "passwd")

And you send the rename command:

  conn.rename("/my/old/name", "/my/new/name")

Don't forget to use fully qualified pathnames, or conn.cwd() to the right
directory before doing the rename.
