Python 2.7 doesn't use the negation of __eq__ when your class doesn't
provide a __ne__ function. Just add a print() to your __eq__ method and
you'll notice the different.

You have to provide both:


class DemoClass(object):
    def __init__(self, val):
        self.val = val

    def __eq__(self, other):
        if not isinstance(other, DemoClass):
            return NotImplemented
        return self.val == other.val

    def __ne__(self, other):
        if not isinstance(other, DemoClass):
            return NotImplemented
        return self.val != other.val

or

    def __ne__(self, other):
        result = self.__eq__(other)
        if result is NotImplemented:
             return NotImplemented
        return not result
