Is there a way to specify what Revit Selection Set to use for a script?

import clr
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

view = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
name = IN[1]

selection_sets = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(SelectionFilterElement)

user_selection = []

for s in selection_sets:
	if s.Name == name:
		ids = s.GetElementIds()
		user_selection = [doc.GetElement(e) for e in ids]
		
OUT = user_selection

The above script retrieves all selection sets in a document and matches a single selection set by name, returning the elements contained within.
