don't forget to quote the url:

def tiny_url(url): """tinyurl GET""" apiurl = "http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=" quoted = urllib.quote_plus(url) tinyurl = urllib.urlopen(apiurl + quoted).read() return tinyurl

Well that didn't work to well. The important thing is quoted = urllib.quote_plus(url) and tinyurl = urllib.urlopen(apiurl + quoted).read(). If you don't quote the url you'll have unexpected results (missing #s, etc).
