Before Python runs your code, it compiles it to byte-code. A SyntaxError means that the code cannot be compiled, and so it does not run.

So the SyntaxError is raised *before* any of the code runs, and standard error is not re-directed. This is expected behaviour, not a bug. You cannot catch compile-time errors at run-time.
