Extended Summary

Unlike numpy.not_equal, this comparison is performed by first stripping whitespace characters from the end of the string. This behavior is provided for backward-compatibility with numarray.

Parameters

x1, x2 : array_like of str or unicode: Input arrays of the same shape.

Returns

out : ndarray: Output array of bools.

Examples

import numpy as np
x1 = np.array(['a', 'b', 'c'])
np.char.not_equal(x1, 'b')

array([ True, False,  True])
