 From Sage Bugreports :
 confusing error message

 {{{
 Traceback (click to the left of this block for traceback)
 ...
 UnboundLocalError: local variable 'maxima_method' referenced before
 assignment
 }}}
 when trying
 {{{
 epsilon = 1e-2; vars = var('x'); y = function('y',x);
 de = epsilon*diff(y,x,2)+y*(1-y^2)==0;
 soln = desolve(de,y[0,-1,1,1]);
 }}}

 Explanation: Currently Sage allows to use BVP only if the result is
 symbolic expression. In this case the result is list of two expresions and
 Sage fails, as mentioned very briefly in documentation of desolve.
 However, we could try to improve desolve or make the error message more
 informative.
