I don't know if this is the right place to discuss the death of <> in Python 3.0, or if there have been any meaningful discussions posted before (hard to search google with '<>' keyword), but why would anyone prefer the comparison operator != over <>???
I've written an article about it to try and save this nice "is not equal" operator, located at http://dewitters.koonsolo.com/python_neq.html Please set it straight in 3.0, and if not, convince me with a good reason of doing so, so that I can live with it and don't have to spend the rest of my life in 2.x ;). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
