This came up in python-ideas, and has met mostly positive comments, although the exact syntax rules are up for discussion.

+1 on the PEP. Is there any value in allowing underscores in strings passed to the Decimal constructor as well? The same sorts of justifications would seem to apply. It's perfectly arguable that the change for Decimal would be so rarely used as to not be worth it, though, so I don't mind either way in practice.
