Hi,
Something like:
from osgeo import ogr
original_field_names = [ "toolongforshapefile1", "toolongforshapefile2"]
map_to_shp = {}
tmpfilename = "/vsimem/temp.shp"
ds = ogr.GetDriverByName("ESRI Shapefile").CreateDataSource(tmpfilename)
lyr = ds.CreateLayer("temp")
lyr_defn = lyr.GetLayerDefn()

some column names in postgis will be over 10 characters in length, and
shortening may produce conflicts. Basically I know how this is done,
