millimeter is a Django-based URL shortener. All other shorteners I found were a huge pain, because they wanted to do everything, but did none of it right. Instead, millimeter will not start off with 500 features, but grow as I need them.
millimeter is supposed to be a private URL shortener. I might add an option to allow the general public to make URLs at some point, but don't count on it.
Patches are welcome! Feel free to fork and contribute to this project on github.

You need Python 2.6. You probably want to run install this in a virtualenv environment.
To install the prerequisites for this tool, run:
easy_install pip
pip install -r requirements.txt
Under .../admin/ you want to edit your "Site" to contain the right URL
and site name. It will be used to generate correct short URLs and display
your own site's name everywhere.
