Hello,

Please upload a stack trace of the crash somehow: run 'gdb python <path to the core dump>' and 'bt' in the gdb console. You can copy that output and paste it as a comment, or save it as a file and attach it.

The core dump should either be in the directory you ran variety from or in /var/crash.
