New question #179669 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/179669

The install instructions[0] specify that I need to download whisper, carbon and graphite-web separately, then manually install all the dependencies.  This seems silly for a project as established as this one, particularly since there exists a requirements.txt[1] with all the appropriate information, ready to be used with pip.

Now, I would just use that, but I'm confused about how the source tree[2] gets converted into these tarballs.  It looks like the carbon and whisper directories are fairly directly converted to their respective tarballs, and most of whatever's left becomes graphite-web.  Okay, I guess that's what the MANIFEST.in files are for.

Now, it's been a while since I've used pip for much of anything, but I remembered it installing dependencies of a package  automagically.  So now we get to the meat of my question: why can't I just do a `pip install graphite-web` and have carbon, whisper, Django, etc. all pulled in and installed?

PS: Carbon isn't Python 2.4-compatible; it needs the 2.5-y syntax of yield.
