This is a very primitive URL shortening service.

It runs on Python3 and can use any collection that looks

like a Python dictionary to store its data ('backend').

#### Backends

Currently it ships with the following data store backends:

* Python dictionary  

  All shortened URLs are lost when restarting the service.

* SQlite-Dictionary [FileDict](http://github.com/pklaus/filedict) for Python 3  

  Persistant storage in a database file.

* redis Plugin  

  Fast storage in memory (RAM)   

  Persistance [is possible](http://redis.io/topics/persistence) via AOF (journal).

Other ideas for backends:

* memcached & pylibmc

  no persistance!

* any of [these](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoSQL)

#### Resources

* This code is loosly based on the shortener contained in

  [urltotwit](https://bitbucket.org/tarek/urltotwit).
