How can i change the "box" height of matblolib subplot and get the height of a matplotlib table?

Question

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
df= pd.DataFrame({'A':['a','b'],'B':[1,2],'C':[1,2]})
fig,ax = plt.subplots()
ax.set_title("title")
ax.set_xlabel('label')
plt.xticks([])
plt.yticks([])
tab = ax.table(rowLabels=range(1,3),colLabels=['A','B','C'],cellText=df.values,loc='center',rowLoc='center')
plt.show()
##My doubt:
function_that_resize_the_box_height( function_that_get_the_table_height(tab) )

That is what i mean by 'box:

A possibility could be the opposite: set the size of the figure with fig,ax = plt.subplots(1, 1, figsize = (5, 2.5)) and then set the bbox parameter of the table so that it fills the figure:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd

df= pd.DataFrame({'A':['a','b'],'B':[1,2],'C':[1,2]})

fig,ax = plt.subplots(1, 1, figsize = (5, 2.5))
ax.set_title("title")
ax.set_xlabel('label')
plt.xticks([])
plt.yticks([])

tab = ax.table(rowLabels=range(1,3),colLabels=['A','B','C'],cellText=df.values,loc='center',rowLoc='center',
               bbox = [0, 0, 1, 1])

plt.show()

This is what I get:
