I just stumbled upon this as well; `python-pillow` is still required to get image previews working in ranger when setting `preview_images_method kitty`.

The ranger manual clearly states:

```
[...]

This only works in Kitty. It requires PIL (or pillow) to work. Allows remote image previews, for example in an ssh session.

To enable this feature, set the option "preview_images_method" to kitty.
```

So I agree that adding `python-pillow` as optional dependency would be a good idea.
