The module is almost non-existant. You can look at the sympy/solvers/pde.py file to see what is done. All that is there is a function to multiplicatively or additively separate a PDE. There are as yet no solvers.
You might look at the ODE module as a guide for the PDE module. Unlike the PDE module, the ODE module is very mature. See sympy/solvers/ode.py. In particular, the structure of that module could be adapted to the PDE module (see the docstring at the top of ode.py). PDEs are more complicated than ODEs, so the structure may need to be improved upon (for example, it's much harder to solve a general PDE without explicit boundary conditions than in the case of ODEs). And I recommend that you get the code base and start playing around with both modules, and start thinking about submitting a patch for your patch requirement. Submitting a fix or improvement to one of these modules would be a great way to get started. You can search the issues if you are lacking in ideas of what to do.
