[issue26208] decimal C module's exceptions don't match the Python version

[Constantine Evans]

Constantine Evans <const at costi.eu> added the comment:

Some other non-matching exceptions are unfriendly, but do not come from libmpdec and could be made to match without, I think, causing problems.  For example:

    >>> format(_decimal.Decimal(1), "invalid")
    ...
    ValueError: invalid format string
    >>> format(_pydecimal.Decimal(1), "invalid")
    ...
    ValueError: Invalid format specifier: invalid

Would it make sense to make a patch to make these match?
