Answer 1

Based on your question it looks like you are using an old driver for Opera version 12 and older. Assuming that you're trying to use the most recent version of Opera you'll want to use the driver available at the following site: OperaChromiumDriver

The site lists sample python code which I have confirmed works on my machine to open and drive Opera: Python Examples for OperaChromiumDriver

import time

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome import service


webdriver_service = service.Service('C:\\Users\\Kris\\Downloads\\WinPython-32bit-2.7.9.2\\operadriver.exe')
webdriver_service.start()

driver = webdriver.Remote(webdriver_service.service_url, webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.OPERA)

driver.get('https://www.google.com/')
input_txt = driver.find_element_by_name('q')
input_txt.send_keys('operadriver\n')

time.sleep(5) #see the result
driver.quit()

EDIT: Looking into the change logs for selenium it looks like support for Presto-based Operas was discontinued after 2.45 which is why you're getting the error messages:CHANGELOG
