from selenium import webdriver
import sys
import os
cwd = os.getcwd()
driver= webdriver.Remote(desired_capabilities=webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.CHROME,command_executor='http://127.0.0.1:4444')
driver.get('http://www.google.com')

error:

urllib.error.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 61] Connection refused>

this program works a while ago, but now it does not. this is why I think it is a system error. (OSX 10.13.4)

Make sure you've started the Selenium Standalone Server:

java -jar /path/to/selenium-server-standalone-<version>.jar

You should see output which looks something like this:

18:47:59.919 INFO - Started org.openqa.jetty.jetty.Server@606145c5

Notice, in particular the line which reads:

RemoteWebDriver instances should connect to: http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub

Use this URL in command_executor:

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Remote(
    desired_capabilities=webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.CHROME,
    command_executor='http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub')
driver.get('http://www.google.com')

As per the API Docs the Remote WebDriver implementation is as follows:

class selenium.webdriver.remote.webdriver.WebDriver(command_executor='http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub', desired_capabilities=None, browser_profile=None, proxy=None, keep_alive=False, file_detector=None, options=None)

An example:

# Instantiate an instance of Remote WebDriver with the desired capabilities.
driver = webdriver.Remote(desired_capabilities=capabilities, command_executor=selenium_grid_url)

So you need to change the line of code from:

driver= webdriver.Remote(desired_capabilities=webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.CHROME,command_executor='http://127.0.0.1:4444')

To:

driver= webdriver.Remote(desired_capabilities=DesiredCapabilities().CHROME,command_executor='http://127.0.0.1:4444')
