title: What is the difference b/w != and <> comparison operator in python?
body: <p>Look in the following website:<br>
    <a href="http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_basic_operators.htm" rel="nofollow">TutorialPoint</a></p>
  
  <p>There under the heading of <code>Python Comparison Operators:</code></p>
  
  <p>You will see that it is written that <code>!=</code> is similar to <code>&lt;&gt;</code> operator<br>
  and even I tested this thing. </p>
  
  <p>So what is the main difference between these two comparison operators?</p>
  
  <p>Also there are documents that say they are similar, and not the same. Is there different criteria for the comparison for these two comparison operators?        </p>
