SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I think #6 fixes this. I tried the code from the fork, however, I'm unable to come up with a valid modeline to use Python syntax. I'm trying this:

# sublime: syntax Packages/Python/Python.sublime-syntax

But it does not work. I always get the error:

[SublimeModelines] Packages/Python/Python.sublime-syntax cannot be resolved to a syntaxfile
