It starts fine using runserver, but when trying to connect to localhost:8000 it errors out.

Django version 1.4, using settings 'graphite.settings'
Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

ImproperlyConfigured: Error importing template source loader django.template.loaders.filesystem.load_template_source: "'module' object has no attribute 'load_template_source'"

I also had to modify the database configuration in settings.py to a hash:

DATABASES = {
  'default': {
    'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
    'NAME': STORAGE_DIR + 'graphite.db', # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
    'USER': '', # Not used with sqlite3.
    'PASSWORD': '', # Not used with sqlite3.
    'HOST': '', # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
    'PORT': '', # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
  }
}

I'd start with Django 1.3 until we have a chance to test 1.4 and make any required adjustments. Note that 1.4 was released only a few hours ago

heh. Wow. Just my luck. I just did pip install django and got what I got. I will give it a try with 1.3 and hopefully that works out better!

Yeah it should be a lot less effort. The error you have above is because 1.4 removed the old-style function-based template loader and Graphite hasn't moved to the new class-based one. I've filed this to get 1.4 working: https://bugs.launchpad.net/graphite/+bug/963684
