harvestman --genconfig fails to work with web.py-0.31

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. download Harvestman-2.0.4beta.tar.gz
2. install it
3. $ harvestman --genconfig

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/harvestman", line 8, in <module>

ImportError: cannot import name request

it seems that autodelegate has been moved to web.__all__.

and it is also necessary to replace `web.run(urls, globals(), 
web.reloader)' with something like:

app = web.application(urls, globals(), autoreload=True)
app.run()

if we want it to work with web.py-0.31

ah. just found that harvestman is not compatible with web.py 0.30+ .

the GET and POST methods should *return* the requests instead of *print* them.

see http://webpy.org/docs/0.3/upgrade .

thanks for your great work.

This is fixed in the latest release 2.0.5 beta and in the HarvestMan-lite 
branch of
the trunk. Thank you for reporting this. However the UI (--ui option) still 
doesn't work.

• Changed state: Fixed

It's not fixed. This is what I get when run harvestman --geconfig:

Also, I don't get how to use HarvestMan. On the usage page there is a 
screenshot of a web browser window opened on localhost:5940 without any 
information what and how to run this daemon. 

Also, if this project is not supported anymore, please make appropriate 
announce.

Ubuntu 12.04 here.
