Comment (by rjvbertin@…):

 How do you propose to patch the 2 "python thing" scripts? Something that
 involves supporting python3 too?
 Ideally the port wouldn't require anyone to install a specific python
 version (when building from source) but that would require invoking the
 2to3 converter when necessary.
 As far as I can see the build system just needs a python 2 interpreter,
 not even any specific packages. Can't we just use the system python in
 that kind of scenario?

 The wrapper script: I don't really see the point in using open here.
 Someone who starts audacity from the terminal only to avoid having to dig
 out the app icon and click on it can just as well type `open [-n] -a
 audacity` instead of simply `audacity`. The added value is in the terminal
 output you can obtain. The exec is of course optional, it just means you
 don't end up with an unnecessary sleeping shell process.
