The ``TinyUrl`` package provides a few useful functions for 
use from within python code:: 

    >>> import tinyurl
    >>> tinyurl.create_one('http://google.com/')
    'http://tinyurl.com/8kp'
    
    >>> for u in 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 <whatever>... ::

    $ 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>`_!
