In blender python, what is the best way of finding an object by a name?. In the case the object does not exist, what is the best way to catch the error, to prevent stopping of the script when the object of name is not found?.

name = "....."
try:
    obj = Blender.Object.Get(name)
    print "YAY!"
except ValueError,e:
    print "Error:",e
