How to tell a queue_name is available

Question

I could know whether a queue_name is available or not in queue.yaml from UnknownQueueError when passed unknown queue_name.

from google.appengine.api import taskqueue
taskqueue.add(url="/mytask", queue_name="foo", method="GET")

However, I prefer to know it without exception handling. Are there any API?
