engine.has_table() throws an error instead of returning False when a table does not exist

Hi there, I've got the following versions: SQLAlchemy==1.1.6 mysql-connector==2.1.4
When running the following code I get an error:
import mysql.connector
from sqlalchemy import create_engine

engine = create_engine('mysql://',
                        creator=lambda: mysql.connector.connect(
                                            option_files='/Users/me/.mylogin.cnf'
                                            )
                      )

engine.has_table('table_that_exists', schema='my_schema')
# -> returns True

engine.has_table('table_that_does_not_exist', schema='my_schema')
