At the very least, it's worth documenting in all places that can give you the 
exception, such as subprocess etc.

Whether it's worth to try to fix the exception message I don't really know. 
Confused users on one side, fragile complex heuristic on the other.

Honestly, I think it is worth it to at least try to brainstorm how to improve 
the message without making it needlessly complicated. I've attempted that with: 
Either demo or interpreter of demo. It's not perfect and maybe another file is 
missing. So let's go further:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory while attempting to 
execute './demo'. This means './demo' or other files needed to run it don't 
exist.
