Let's be lazy (and avoid identifier clashes)

sage: V=var("v", n=9)
sage: P=matrix(V,nrows=3)
sage: X=matrix(SR,3,3,[[0,1,0],[0,0,1],[1,0,0]])
sage: Pdagger=P.transpose()
sage: Xdagger=X.transpose()
sage: Q=X*Pdagger
sage: B=Q.solve_left(X)

Let's be lazy again : don't build a list of equations representing B==X, but a list representing the elements of B-X

sage: E=[B[r][c]-X[r][c] for c in range(3) for r in range(3)]

Look (lazily) for solutions

sage: S=solve(E,V)

A loook at the solutions show that they are rational expressions. Are they acceptable ? This entails that their denominators must not be null. But :

sage: [[e.denominator().subs(s) for s in S] for e in E]
[[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1]]

Check the only acceptable one :

sage: [e.subs(S[16]) for e in E]
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

And, indeed :

sage: matrix([v.subs(S[16]) for v in V],nrows=3)==X
True

True

Note that Sympy does not seem to be able to solve this system :

sage: sympy.solve(map(lambda e:e._sympy_(), E),map(lambda v:v._sympy_(), V))
[]

On the other hand, Mathematica is able to solve the system and does not gives "spurious" solutions. But expressing the exuations is harder in Mathematica than in Sage : that's why I keep the first part in Sage :

sage: V=var("v",n=9)
sage: P=matrix(SR,V,nrows=3);P
[v0 v1 v2]
[v3 v4 v5]
[v6 v7 v8]
sage: X=matrix(SR,[[0,1,0],[0,0,1],[1,0,0]]);X
[0 1 0]
[0 0 1]
[1 0 0]
sage: Q=X*(P.transpose())
sage: B=Q.solve_left(X)
sage: E=[B[l][c]==X[l][c] for c in range(3) for l in range(3)];E
