graphite-web and carbon, installed from 'pip' is broken if venv is used

[Civil]

if you are installing in venv, you'll get following paths (relative to venv root):

./lib/python2.7/site-packages/opt/graphite/webapp
./lib/python2.7/site-packages/opt/graphite/lib/carbon/
./lib/python2.7/site-packages/opt/graphite/lib/twisted/

This is wrong and must be fixed.

Yes, confirmed.

This is due to changes in the pip versions. By default virtualenv installs the latest version pip.

Workarounds:

1. pip install --no-binary=:all: <carbon/graphite-web>
2. pip install pip==6.1.1

---

since 7.0.0 introduced: build wheels prior to installing from sdist
Affects to python package sources: pip install <carbon/graphite-web>

since 10.0.0b1 introduced:
packages which specify one or more build dependencies this way will be built into wheels
Affects to VCS sources:
pip install https://github.com/graphite-project/<carbon/graphite-web>/tarball/<tag/commit>
