Check if specific fields exists in matrix table in python script

I am trying to run the below on a small Exome matrix table

def filter_matrix_table(self):
    logging.info(f"Filtering matrix table")
    mt = hl.read_matrix_table(self.input_matrix_table)
    # memoize the loci we care about
    mt = mt.annotate_globals(fp_loci=self.get_loci_from_sites_path())
    # filter and grab what we need
    mt = mt.filter_rows(mt.fp_loci.contains(mt.locus))
    mt = mt.drop('info', 'fp_loci')
    return mt.select_entries('GT', 'PL')

I am getting back

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/1d77d8061d704092bf4a465ab1d44975/extract_fingerprint_sites.py", line 63, in <module>

    raise IndexError("MatrixTable has no field '{}'".format(e))
IndexError: MatrixTable has no field 'info'

I think I should be able to run describe or summarize to see if ‘info’ or other fields needs to be removed (should I expect it to be there?), but I am having some trouble finding how I can run that in a python script and grab fields as a list.

edit
Just for clarity, I have already confirmed there is no info field in this specific matrix table using describe and seeing the output, but I would like a way for the script to check on its own without manual intervention.

You can get the fields of a MatrixTable component with:

list(mt.row)
list(mt.entry)
list(mt.col)

Or check for membership with:

field in mt.row

etc.

Thank you, that worked! Have a great break.

thanks!
