[Bug] Some methods listed in documentation are not present in Table class

[lkesich]

Detailed Description

The method rename_columns() is not present when the Table class is imported. Running some_table.rename_columns(name_dict) fails with the error "AttributeError: 'Table' object has no attribute 'rename_columns'."

I ran dir() to get a list of imported Table methods and noticed that rename_columns() is not listed. deduplicate() is also not listed despite appearing in the documentation.

The rename_columns() function works fine when copy/pasted from source code, just not as an attribute of the table object.

To Reproduce

from parsons import Table
tbl = Table()
dir(tbl)

rename_columns and deduplicate are not present in listed methods.

Your Environment

• Version of Parsons used: 1.0.0

Priority

Low

Looks like you are using an older version of Parsons. The rename_columns method was added last month (by me). If you want to get the most recent version, you can install like this: python -m pip install git+https://github.com/move-coop/parsons.git.

Even the pip install parsons isn't up to date with that new change.

This is what I get when running the same code in a fresh install using the git+... command.

from parsons import Table
tbl = Table()
dir(tbl)

Thank you! Those methods appear following install from GitHub. I appreciate your help.
