The TinyURL3 package provides a few useful functions for use from within python code and was modded for Python 3.x Support.::

>>> import TinyUrl
>>> TinyUrl.TinyUrl.create_one('http://google.com/')
'http://tinyurl.com/8kp'

>>> for u in TinyUrl.TinyUrl.create('http://google.com/', 'http://meatballhat.com/'):
...    print(u)
...
http://tinyurl.com/8kp
http://tinyurl.com/7qg8g7

Additionally, a command-line interface is provided for general use, as in shell scripts or ... ::

$ export GOOGLE_URL="`tinyurl http://google.com/`"
$ echo $GOOGLE_URL
http://tinyurl.com/8kp

Much love to the folks at tinyurl.com <http://tinyurl.com>_!
