无法使用Python连接rethinkdb

Question

I am trying to connect with Rethinkdb using Python. I sucessfully installed rethinkdb using pip install rethinkdb on ubuntu. but I try to connect rethinkdb using python as follows:

import rethinkdb as r
conn=r.connect().repl()

I am getting the following error on connection:

ethinkdb.errors.ReqlDriverError: Could not connect to localhost:28015. Error: [Errno 111] Connection refused

In another post I found that this issue arises if we have different rethinkdb driver version and server version. I am able to find rethinkdb version using

pip freeze 

It gives following:

Rethinkdb version is there, But I don't know how to check server version. Please help me with this.

After starting virtualenv, when I tried to start rethinkdb it gives error. As in following screenshot.

Answer 1

Is your server running?. Can you show the result of the executing the following command in the terminal?.

ps aux | grep rethinkdb
