Please provide more information - what were you doing to get this, where did you copy the traceback from (it is not in the log and looks incomplete), does it prevent Variety from launching or from running, etc., etc.

By the looks of this, it is almost certainly related to pyexif2 being deprecated and maybe missing on user's machine.
