PEP 515: fix links

[skirpichev]

While working on https://bugs.python.org/issue44267 I've noticed some broken links (first commit). The second one fix links with redirects.

BTW, the stdlib implementation doesn't follow PEP. Is it ok?

@skirpichev in regardes to what's in Python not matching the PEP, it would depend on how much it deviates and whether it's backwards-compatible since what's in the language now has been there for quite some time.

Well, the PEP is clear: "The current proposal is to allow one underscore between digits, and after base specifiers in numeric literals."

PEP also explicitly lists constructors in the stdlib, that allow this. Including the Decimal(). Which, however, accepts any number of underscores in any place.

whether it's backwards-compatible

Apparently, no.

If you think there is something to do wrt the PEP text - please reopen the quoted above issue.

That's definitely a bug in the Decimal implementation. Whether to fix that at this stage I'll leave to the maintainers of Decimal.

Well, apparently the Decimal maintainers (at least Mark) do think - there is nothing to fix... Neither PEP, nor the decimal implementation.
