wifite hangs terminal

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Running the command normally from the command line
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the program to terminate and return either to the gui or exit.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Whatever the latest is as of today, after updating from the program.

Please provide any additional information below.

Ok if wifite does not find an ap with a strength of over 50dB's it just hangs. 
It also hangs the terminal it is running in if, a user hits ctrl-c. It should 
either return to the gui, or it should exit the program. 
I let this program sit there for a full 10 minutes after this and both times 
the same, nothing. 
I am the maintainer of this package in BT4. So if you have any questions feel 
free to contact me per our forums or our the IRC channel. 
here is a picture link , detailing what I mentioned above.

Archangel,

Thanks for the feedback.  This was a design failure.

I've made changes to Revision 59 so that the program does not end without 
printing:

"close this window at any time to exit wifite"

The reason the Xterm window "hangs" is so that the user can view what happened 
during the attack, what may have gone wrong, and copy/paste any passwords that 
wifite may have found.  Once the Xterm window is closed, wifite's output is 
lost (although passwords are saved in "log.txt").

I realize now that it looked as though wifite was still executing commands.  
Sorry about that.  If you see other needed changes, or if r59 isn't clear 
enough, let me know.

Note: Wifite has a built-in upgrader to save you some time (it replaces the 
existing wifite.py file):

"./wifite.py -upgrade".
