I agree with @hroncok, and maybe we could tweak the message to say

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: while executing './demo'. Maybe bad shebang, or missing file?

Or something to that effect. I realize that listing all possible error reasons is a fool's errand, and there are cases where it might make things more confusing.

This reminds me of the old MS-DOS errors like "A duplicate file name exists, or the file cannot be found": as a user, I always wanted to scream "you know which one, tell me!". Sadly, you can't always get the OS to give you the info. Which is also like Windows "can't load DLL" errors: which one?!
