It appears this was turned non-free, they only distribute binaries and even those are still dependant
on Python 2: https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/FALCON_unzip/wiki/Binaries

| That depends on your python2.7 Unicode size. Almost certainly, you want "ucs4", but you can check this way:
| 
| python2.7 -c 'import sysconfig,pprint; pprint.pprint(sysconfig.get_config_vars()["Py_UNICODE_SIZE"])'
| 
| (We do not support python3.)

So let's remove it from the archive?
