Statsite not writing to Graphite v4.0.0 xrange and StandardError not defined

[hkp]

Did a fresh install of the v4.0.0 tagged and master branch.

Statsite was not flushing to Graphite. I found this error in the syslog.

It looks like you're using a Python2 script with Python3, so it's failing.

Looking at the way you do the install, you're pulling the script from the statsite repo, so maybe I should submit a patch there to fix the sink to be Python3 compatible. Or you can keep your own python3 compatible version.

I sent a pull request that will fix this.
