python: difference between != and <>? [duplicate]

Question

So, I'm making a python cheat sheet for myself, and when I started covering comparison operators, I noticed these two:

a = 1
b = 2

if a != b:
 print("Dunno")

if a <> b:
 print("Dunno")

I'm using python 2.7 and was curious if there's a difference between the two operators?

Answer 1

As described in the documentation, they are the same. <> is deprecated and was removed in Python 3, so you should use !=.

Answer 2

<> is deprecated. Other than that, no.
