Is there a way to rename a dictionary key, without reassigning its value to a new name and removing the old name key; and without iterating through dict key/value?

Other answers are pretty good.But in python3.6, regular dict also has order. So it's hard to keep key's position in normal case.
def rename(old_dict,old_name,new_name):
new_dict = {}
for key,value in zip(old_dict.keys(),old_dict.values()):
new_key = key if key != old_name else new_name
new_dict[new_key] = old_dict[key]
return new_dict
