How to find out if there is any metadata in a table

[hyanwong]

Is there an efficient way of finding out if a table has any metadata? Or do I have to do len(ts.tables.nodes.metadata) == 0? I assume this will be relatively inefficient until #760 is fixed?

Not quite the same, but you could check if there's a schema?

The repr_html does len(table.metadata) > 0
Why are you worried about efficiency? I doubt this will be checked in a tight loop?

Yes, you are right, I'm not checking it a lot, so probably easiest to stick with the obvious.
