Dear fellows,
ranger can't run if it can't find the "ranger" python module. It must
be in one of the PYTHONPATH directories. On my install, ranger was
installed to /usr/share/pyshared which is not in PYTHONPATH so ranger
will not find it. It ought to be put at /usr/lib/pythonX/dist-packages/
instead with X being your python version.
To fix this, create a link from the place ranger was installed to some
place in your PYTHONPATH, for example:
ln -s /usr/share/pyshared/ranger /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ranger
To determine where ranger was installed, run:
dpkg --listfiles ranger | grep fm.py | grep -o .\*ranger
To determine where you can put ranger so it works, run:
python -c 'import sys; print("\n".join(sys.path))'
I noticed this additional bug:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/ranger", line 59, in <module>
sys.exit(ranger.main())
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ranger/core/main.py", line 29, in main
from ranger.core.fm import FM
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ranger/core/fm.py", line 30, in
<module>
from ranger.gui.defaultui import DefaultUI
ImportError: No module named gui.defaultui
This is caused due to removal of the empty file "ranger/gui/__init__.py",
which is required for python to recognize that this directory is a
python module. If this occurs for you, run:
touch /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ranger/gui/__init__.py
(replace /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ with whatever directory
ranger was installed to.)

ranger is usually installed for one particular python version (although
being compatible with all python versions since 2.6) because Python 2.7
does NOT look for modules in /usr/lib/python2.6. As a result, you need
to reinstall ranger when you update python.
