Comment 4 for bug 795713

The paths are also hardcoded in setup.cfg. This file is included in source distribution and I think this prevents 'pip install graphite-web' because there is no way to override values defined in this file (or at least I can't find one).

I was able to install graphite to virtualenv this way:

1. Download the source tarball from pypi;
2. remove the setup.cfg file;
3. run setup.py with --prefix and --install-lib params:

python setup.py install --prefix=/Users/kmike/envs/zina/graphite --install-lib=/Users/kmike/envs/zina/graphite/webapp

After that,

run-graphite-devel-server.py /Users/kmike/envs/zina/graphite

seems to work but I haven't dig deeper.

So I think it will be possible to install graphite-web to virtualenv using pip by just removing setup.cfg from the source distribution:

pip install graphite-web --install-option="--prefix=<env>/graphite" --install-option="--install-lib=<env_path>/graphite/webapp"
