Public bug reported:

getByCategory() raises a NoCatetoryError when no sections exist for the
category.  This tends to be inconvenient to use because you have to
import an exception class at catch the error should you, say want to
return an empty list.  getByCategory() could take and optional default
argument to return in that case, raising the error if no default is
given.
