# Compatible with ranger 1.6.0 through 1.7.* # # This is a sample plugin that displays "Hello World" in ranger's console after # it started. from __future__ import (absolute_import, division, print_function) # We are going to extend the hook "ranger.api.hook_ready", so first we need # to import ranger.api: import ranger.api # Save the previously existing hook, because maybe another module already # extended that hook and we don't want to lose it: HOOK_READY_OLD = ranger.api.hook_ready # Create a replacement for the hook that... def hook_ready(fm): # ...does the desired action... fm.notify("Hello World") # ...and calls the saved hook. If you don't care about the return value, # simply return the return value of the previous hook to be safe. return HOOK_READY_OLD(fm) # Finally, "monkey patch" the existing hook_ready function with our replacement: ranger.api.hook_ready = hook_ready
