PyBit is a small application written in wxPython for shortening URLs using some of the best shortening engines like: bit.ly, is.gd, cli.gs, smsh.me, tr.im and posting status updates to twitter or identi.ca. pyBit tries to be as simple as possible and more userfirendly. So the configuration is one using a simple preference dialog and all the buttons and text is bigger. But you have to know, that all passwords (for twitter and identi.ca) are stored in plain text, so it's NOT secure, till I figure out a simple way to store the passwords, or twitter gives a hash authentication method.
Under GNOME pyBit stores the shotened URL directly to your clipboard, so you don't have to select and copy the short URL.
