Thank you for using Ubuntu and filing a bug.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Long story short, author uses python2.7,
and my machine uses python3.3 as python." ufw is tested to work with
python 2.6-2.7 and python 3.1+ (in fact it defaults to python3 in later
Ubuntu releases and python-ufw (the package that failed) is only
provided for other python2 apps that use ufw). Specifically,
src/applications.py has:

if sys.version_info[0] < 3:
    import ConfigParser
else:
    import configparser


You later say that "my machine uses python3.3 as python". Do you mean that you changed the symlink for /usr/bin/python to point to /usr/bin/python3.3 instead of /usr/bin/python2.7? If so, this is not the recommendation from PEP-0394 and is unsupported in Ubuntu and Debian and I would expect many other python2 applications to fail. This has been discussed in various places:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2013-July/127529.html
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Python/3
http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/

** Changed in: ufw (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
