Untested:

from ctypes import *

ComputerNamePhysicalDnsHostname = 5

computer_name = u'COMPUTER'

success = windll.kernel32.SetComputerNameExW(ComputerNamePhysicalDnsHostname,
                                             computer_name)
if success:
    print("Name changed")
else:
    print("Failed")

The process will need admin rights, and the computer will need to be
rebooted before the change will take effect.
