The code below worked for me on the following setup. Hope this helps.

• Selenium: 3.0.2

• ChromeDriver: 2.27.440174

  import os
  
  from selenium import webdriver
  from selenium.webdriver.common import desired_capabilities
  from selenium.webdriver.opera import options
  
  _operaDriverLoc = os.path.abspath('E:\\Envs\\PySelEnv\\selserver\\chromedriver.exe')  # Replace this path with the actual path on your machine.
  _operaExeLoc = os.path.abspath('E:\\Program Files\\Opera\\42.0.2393.94\\opera.exe')   # Replace this path with the actual path on your machine.
  
  _remoteExecutor = 'http://127.0.0.1:9515'
  _operaCaps = desired_capabilities.DesiredCapabilities.OPERA.copy()
  
  _operaOpts = options.ChromeOptions()
  _operaOpts._binary_location = _operaExeLoc
  
  # Use the below argument if you want the Opera browser to be in the maximized state when launching. 
  # The full list of supported arguments can be found on http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/
  _operaOpts.add_argument('--start-maximized')   
  
  self._browserDriver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = _operaDriverLoc, chrome_options = _operaOpts, desired_capabilities = _operaCaps)
