Why are posts containing Python code "flagged as spam by Akismet.com"?

[daveaiello]

I wanted to post a block of Python code as a response to a Pythonista forum thread, but I was unable to do it. The site responded:

Error

Post content was flagged as spam by Akismet.com.

How do I work around this?

You can upload the code to https://gist.github.com/ and post the link here, that seems to work fine.

Thanks! I was thinking I could create a gist.

I just thought that 17 lines of code could be inlined in a comment, because I had previously posted 11 of these lines of code and that hadn't been an issue.
