Differences of "!=" operator behavior in python3 and python2 [ bug? ]

[Fábio Santos]

I think it is more readable. When doing more complicated statements I use
!= instead, but when it's a single test I prefer not … ==

It's a personal thing. It may also have to do with the fact that I didn't
know python had != when I was a novice.
