How do I differentiate an implicit function in sagemath?

I'm trying to differentiate an implicit expression

$x e^{y} = x -y$

This is my sagemath code

x = var('x')
f(x,y)= x*e**y - x + y
show(diff(f))

Sagemath Answer is $\left( x, y \right) \ {\mapsto} \ \left(e^{y} - 1,\,x e^{y} + 1\right)$

But the actual answer is $\frac{1 - e^{y}}{x e^{y} + 1}$

How do I get the actual answer using sagemath?

The code

x = var('x')
y = function("y")(x)
eq = x*e**y == x - y
dy = diff(y,x)
sol = solve(diff(eq), dy)
show(dy.subs(sol))

yields $-\frac{e^{y\left(x\right)} - 1}{x e^{y\left(x\right)} + 1}$ as expected
