    <p>I need to solve a set of symbolic Boolean expressions like:</p> <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; solve(x | y = False) (False, False) &gt;&gt;&gt; solve(x &amp; y = True) (True, True) &gt;&gt;&gt; solve (x &amp; y &amp; z = True) (True, True, True) &gt;&gt;&gt; solve(x ^ y = False) ((False, False), (True, True)) </code></pre> <p>Number of such variables is large (~200) so that Brute Force strategy is not possible. I searched the web and found that <a href="http://sympy.org/en/index.html" rel="nofollow">Sympy</a> and <a href="http://www.sagemath.org/index.html" rel="nofollow">Sage</a> have symbolic manipulation capabilities (particularly <a href="http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/logic/sage/logic/booleval.html" rel="nofollow">this</a> and <a href="http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/polynomial_rings/sage/rings/polynomial/pbori.html" rel="nofollow">this</a> may be useful). How can I do that?</p> <p>EDIT: I mainly tried to manipulate such things:</p> <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; from sympy import * &gt;&gt;&gt; x=Symbol('x', bool=True) &gt;&gt;&gt; y=Symbol('y', bool=True) &gt;&gt;&gt; solve(x &amp; y, x) </code></pre> <p>which results in <code>NotImplementedError</code>. Then I tried <code>solve(x * y, x)</code> which gave <code>[0]</code> (I don't know what does it mean), <code>solve(x * y = True, x)</code> resulted in a <code>SyntaxError</code>, <code>solve(x * y, True, x)</code> and <code>solve(x &amp; y, True, x)</code> gave an <code>AttributeError</code>. I don't know what else to try!</p> <p>EDIT (2): I also found <a href="ftp://ftp.iitb.ac.in/packages/sagemath/doc/en/reference/sat/sat.pdf" rel="nofollow">this</a>, may be useful!</p>

    1. COAnd what is wrong with the solutions you found? What have you tried? We must not do your evaluation work.

    2. COOK, I found [this](http://docs.sympy.org/0.6.7/modules/logic.html) stating use of Boolean variables, but solution of equations are found [here](http://docs.sympy.org/dev/modules/solvers/solvers.html), but how to connect this two? `solve` assumes that RHS is `0`, but here how can I put `True` or `False`?

    3. COI think you want to use `satisfiable` not `solve` for boolean expressions as per [this link](http://docs.sympy.org/0.6.7/modules/logic.html).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
