finding conjugating element for two conjugate permutations

Suppose a and b are elements of a symmetric group that are conjugate, how to find a conjugating element in sage?

For example,

G=SymmetricGroup(3); a=G((1,2)) b=G((2,3))

Then

G.conjugacy_class(a) == G.conjugacy_class(b)

is true, but is there a function to give x such that xa=bx?
