from sympy import * 
t = symbols("t") 
y = Function("y") 
ode = Eq(-t - 6*y(t) + Derivative(y(t), t) + Derivative(y(t), (t, 2)),0) 
ics = {y(0): 0, Subs(Derivative(y(t), t), t, 0): 0} 
dsolve(ode,func=y(t),ics=ics)
 

\[ y{\left (t \right )} = - \frac {t}{6} + \frac {e^{2 t}}{20} - \frac {1}{36} - \frac {e^{- 3 t}}{45} \]
