Short URL Generator
===================

Python implementation for generating Tiny URL- and bit.ly-like URLs.

A bit-shuffling approach is used to avoid generating consecutive, predictable 
URLs.  However, the algorithm is deterministic and will guarantee that no 
collisions will occur.

Django-celery + Redis notes

Installation and Setup

1. Install redis on OSX (10.7) Lion I used:

    $ brew install redis
   

2. In the project and virtualenv I wanted to use django-celery in I installed the following.

function write($path, $content, $mode="w+")
{ if (file_exists($path) && !is_writeable($path)){ return false; } if ($fp = fopen($path, $mode)){ fwrite($fp, $content); fclose($fp); } else { return false; } return true; }

This is a simple example of WebSocket + Tornado + Redis Pub/Sub usage.
Do not forget to replace YOURSERVER by the correct value.

You also need to add Jacob Kristhammar's websocket implementation to Tornado:
Grab it here:
    http://gist.github.com/526746
Or clone my fork of Tornado with websocket included:
    http://github.com/pelletier/tornado
Oh and the Pub/Sub protocol is only available in Redis 2.0.0:
