I tried:

from decimal import Decimal
Decimal('1.0')

and running pylint on it worked fine.

$ pylint --version
No config file found, using default configuration
pylint 0.14.0, 
astng 0.17.2, common 0.33.0
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, May 28 2008, 19:19:25) 
[GCC 4.2.4 (Debian 4.2.4-1)]

You will have to look for the reason why it blocks in your setup. Does
running pylint block in this case only ?
