Py-URL-Shortener is a Python powered Flask app implementing a technique in which a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) has been made substantially shorter in length and still direct to the required page. This is achieved by using a redirect on a domain name that is short, which links to the web page that has a long URL.

MarkupSafe: MarkupSafe is a library for Python that implements a unicode string that is aware of HTML escaping rules and can be used to implement automatic string escaping. It is used by Jinja 2, the Mako templating engine, the Pylons web framework and many more.
Py-URL-Shortener is tested with MariaDB and obviously can be used with MySQL. And as we are using Flask-SQLAlchemy, you can combine it with any database system supported by Flask-SQLAlchemy.
