'Why pyexiv2 raises an error during runtime execution

I'm trying to use pyexiv2 to geotag photos from historical location data. However, my installation of pyexiv2 seems to be broken.

I'm running this script on a MacBook with MacOS Monterey. This was working perfectly on my previous MacBook so I believe it has something to do with the installation.

Here is the runtime error, it doesn't even pass import pyexiv2 at line 1 of the code.

Clearly files are missing, but why and how do I get them correctly installed?

Can someone tell me what the problem is and how to fix it?

Many thanks,

Stu
