That's true for strings, and (as far as I know), all pre-defined
types, but it's certainly possible to define a class which violates
that.
class isButNotEqual:
def __ne__ (self, other):
return True
a = isButNotEqual()
b = a
print "a != b:", a != b
print "a is not b:", a is not b
frame:play$ ./eq.py
a != b: True
a is not b: False
On the other hand, I can't imagine any reason why you would want to
define such a class, other than as a demonstration (or part of an
obfuscated Python contest).
