def not_equal(x1, x2):
    """
    Return (x1 != x2) element-wise.

    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 or bool
        Output array of bools, or a single bool if x1 and x2 are scalars.
