From the project page, https://github.com/rjpower/falcon/

"... However, this doesn't mean that programs which use these constructs won't run. Any missing functionality is routed through the Python C API, foregoing any potential performance benefit you might have gotten from Falcon. So, though Falcon isn't a complete Python implementation, it should still run all of your code."
