TypeError: exception() got an unexpected keyword argument 'extra'

Hello,

When I submit a sample the analysis process works fine, but after each successfully completed analysis I get the following exception. In the following, I copy & paste the whole output:

k1rk1r@k1rk1r:~$ cuckoo

The VM will be started and the sample executed as expected, but after everything is done I get this exception and the VM session will not close automatically. Even when I invoke the cuckoo command as cuckoo user, I get this exception. After closing the VM via CTRL-C from command-line, I get the following:

^C2017-08-27 15:28:28,005 [cuckoo.common.abstracts] INFO: Still 1 guests alive. Shutting down...
Exception in thread Thread-3 (most likely raised during interpreter shutdown):

Note: The solution at https://github.com/cuckoosandbox/cuckoo/issues/1607 has not helped.

Host OS details: Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit), Python 2.7.3, cuckoo sandbox v2.0.3 (all dependencies specified by official website are installed)

Guest OS details: Windows XP SP3, MS Office 2003, Adobe Reader 9.5 etc.

I hope someone can help.

Best regards :)

why do you run that on so old ubuntu os?

Not sure what's going on here. If I manually make sure I get an exception in that function and therefore the logging is reached, I don't get said error logging above, but instead properly filled out logs. I suspect that your older version of Python ships an older version of the logging Python stdlib library. Upgrading your OS would probably be wise.

Any update @k1rk1r?

Closing issue for lack of additional information. Although note that this is most likely related to the outdated version of Python. Please reopen if you have more feedback. Thanks!
