To repro:

>>> import os, sys
>>> os.execv("nosuchfile", ["nosuchfile"])
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
>>> print(sys.last_value.filename)
None

I agree that having the error message include the executable name could be useful.

After further reading, especially the docs for OSError which describe the filename and filename2 attributes, I agree that setting .filename on the FileNotFoundError exception is the way to go.
