>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.

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.
