One is go through the model's sequences (m.sequences()) and check the sequences' "residues" list. There will be Nones in the list when residues in the SEQRES records don't exist in the structure. You will need to ignore/strip leading/trailing series of Nones and then see if any Nones remain, which would indicate an internal gap.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The other way is to get the pseudobond group that depicts the gap.

Of course, if you know that you only have one model open then simply check if the pseudoBonds list is empty or not.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Let me know if you need more info.
