ode:=diff(y(t),t) = y(t)^3-y(t)^2; 
dsolve(ode,y(t), singsol=all);
 

\[ y = \frac {1}{\operatorname {LambertW}\left (-c_1 \,{\mathrm e}^{t -1}\right )+1} \]

ode=D[y[t],t]==y[t]^3-y[t]^2;

t = symbols("t") 
y = Function("y") 
ode = Eq(-y(t)**3 + y(t)**2 + Derivative(y(t), t),0)

dsolve(ode,func=y(t),ics=ics)
 

\[ t - \log {\left (y{\left (t \right )} - 1 \right )} + \log {\left (y{\left (t \right )} \right )} - \frac {1}{y{\left (t \right )}} = C_{1} \]
