No, why should Python assume that if you use != without supplying a __ne__ that this is what you want? Without direction it will compare the two objects which is the default behavior.
So, s != t is True because the ids of the two objects are different. The same applies to, for example s > t and s < t. Do you want Python to be smart and deduce that you want to compare one variable within the object if you don't create __gt__ and __lt__? I do not want Python to do that.
