log=/tmp/vds$$.log
vdirsyncer sync 2>&1 > $log
does not redirect output to a log. I'd like to use the error lines to fetch the relevant entries with curl and do a diff. This simple task is not possible since vdirsyncer uses some other input/output mechanism. How can vdirsyncer be operated to stick to stdin, stdout and stderr?

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the provided vdirsyncer sync command and its redirection to /tmp/vds$$.log under the reported Python and macOS versions. Trace how the sync command emits output and determine whether normal output and errors reach stdout and stderr; done means shell redirection captures the relevant output for later processing.
