OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error

Hey, for some reason whenever I try to start the Matlab server via the vim-matlab-server.py script I get this Error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "./vim-matlab-server.py", line 192, in main() File "./vim-matlab-server.py", line 182, in main server.matlab = Matlab() File "./vim-matlab-server.py", line 30, in init self.launch_process() File "./vim-matlab-server.py", line 35, in launch_process self.proc = pexpect.spawn("matlab", ["-nosplash", "-nodesktop"]) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pexpect/pty_spawn.py", line 204, in init self._spawn(command, args, preexec_fn, dimensions) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pexpect/pty_spawn.py", line 303, in _spawn cwd=self.cwd, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pexpect/pty_spawn.py", line 314, in _spawnpty return ptyprocess.PtyProcess.spawn(args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ptyprocess/ptyprocess.py", line 330, in spawn raise exception OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error

On google I've learned that the last line indicates a problem with the shebang line. But I checked it 1000 times and tried other scripts with the same shebang and they work just fine. I also tried: using #!/usr/bin/python2 instead of #!/usr/bin/env python2, reinstalling neovim, reinstalling the plugin, reinstalling python. nothing changed. I'm a noob and super lost, so any help would be appreciated.
