While working on issue44258 I discover that the decimal module doesn't follow specification in PEP 515: "The current proposal is to allow one underscore between digits, and after base specifiers in numeric literals." (c)

For example:
>>> float("1.1__1")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: could not convert string to float: '1.1__1'

but
>>> from decimal import Decimal as C
>>> from _pydecimal import Decimal as P
>>> C("1.1__1")
Decimal('1.11')
>>> P("1.1__1")
Decimal('1.11')

Maybe this requirement could be relaxed in PEP, but it seems - this was already discussed (see Alternative Syntax section).  Hence, I think this is a bug.

Patch for _pydecimal attached.
