I'm assuming you mean using setdefault in lieu of my exception handling
which is a good idea.  However, the exception block isn't really my primary
concern.  It just feels a bit like I'm coupling my app a bit too closely to
Section's inner workings by going that route.  I was thinking of something
more along the lines of a magical "get_by_interpolation" function (or
something that would make implementing such a function easier).  But, if
such an animal doesn't exist, I suppose I'll just have to deal.  :-)
