Just noticed this myself when testing with Python 3.5-3.7:

    >>> from decimal import Decimal
    >>> d = Decimal('foo')
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    decimal.InvalidOperation: [<class 'decimal.ConversionSyntax'>]


With Python 2.7 I get this error instead:

    decimal.InvalidOperation: Invalid literal for Decimal: 'foo'


I'm writing type conversion code and was planning to include the error message 
by Python along with some higher level explanation when reporting errors. 
`[<class 'decimal.ConversionSyntax'>]` would be such a strange message that I 
need to make a special case with decimal.
