Source Python

    elif entity_type == "collection":
        try:
            return session.collections.get(entity_name)
        except CollectionDoesNotExist as e:
            raise _IrodsAvuError(
                "The collection '{0}' does not exist".format(entity_name))

Despite it being one of the stated functionalities:
