Posting status with tweepy and getting a short link to status

[MapPornTweet]

I’m using Tweepy to post a status to twitter in Python. Is there a way to get a shortlink or URL to the post everytime python posts something?

Once you’ve used API.update_status, the return type is a Status object. You should be able to get the Tweet ID back from that object. Once you have that, the URL will be https://twitter.com/[screen_name]/status/[id]
