Raymond Hettinger added the comment:
The docs are correct but are apparently misleading ("rich comparison methods"
means all six comparison methods while "rich comparison ordering methods" means
only the four that provide order). That said, I think it would be perfectly
reasonable to amend the code to supply __ne__ if it is missing. That would be
reduce the likelihood of bugs arising when supplied only __eq__ and one of the
four ordering methods but not __ne__.
