I don't care much about the directory versus facade module approach, but the above is really worth noting. For decimal, I find the three-files approach easier to manage: All private symbols of the Python version are automatically no longer imported; they don't have to be deleted when the C version is used. Also, the new scheme uncovered some missing symbols in __all__. The downside for CPython is just a slightly more cluttered directory listing (and the doctests get a bit messier). The other implementations could import their (hypothetical) accelerators in the facade module and override selected symbols there (I think Nick mentioned that already).
