sage.logic.propcalc allows one to see if a sentence in propositional logic is satisfiable.

The documentation has

sage: f = propcalc.formula("a|b")
sage: f.is_satisfiable()
True

Is there a syntax that would give a satisfying assignment? I'd like something like

sage: f.is_satisfiable(show)
a:=True, b:=True

The documentation doesn't give the syntax, but I'm betting it's there somewhere.

As you can see, the is_satisfiable() method uses the truthtable() method to find the answer. You can do the same and print satisfying assignments:

sage: for row in f.truthtable().get_table_list()[1:]:
....:     if row[-1]:
....:         print row[:-1]
[False, True]
[True, False]
[True, True]
