Why prefer != over <> for Python 3.0?

The Sinclair QL used the Motorola 68008, which was like the 68000 (a
32-bit processor) but with an 8-bit external data bus instead of a 16-
bit one; that made the system cheaper to build, but as the
instructions were multiples of 16 bits long every instruction required
at least 2 memory accesses, which made it slower. Nice clean processor
though, unlike the 8086... :-)
