Yes, that file exists, but it's a symlink to a non-existent file:

$ ls -al 311-nested/bin
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  5 nedbatchelder  wheel  160 Dec 13 18:04 ./
drwxr-xr-x  6 nedbatchelder  wheel  192 Dec 13 18:04 ../
lrwxr-xr-x  1 nedbatchelder  wheel   21 Dec 13 18:04 python@ -> /usr/local/bin/python
lrwxr-xr-x  1 nedbatchelder  wheel    6 Dec 13 18:04 python3@ -> python
lrwxr-xr-x  1 nedbatchelder  wheel    6 Dec 13 18:04 python3.11@ -> python
$ ls -al /usr/local/bin/python
ls: /usr/local/bin/python: No such file or directory
