Python Selenium Error: Cannot find Opera binary

i'm trying out Python Selenium with my main browser, Opera, but i get a massive error when i execute the script, here's the python script:

from selenium import webdriver
path = r"C:\Users\sleep\Programs\operadriver_win64\operadriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Opera(executable_path=path)
driver.get('https://youtube.com')

And here's the error:

webdriver_service = service.Service('path/to/operadriver')
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

can you try this :

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.opera.options import Options

options = Options()
options.binary_location = r'C:\opera.exe path'
driver = webdriver.Opera(opera_options = options, 
executable_path=r'C:\operadriver.exe path')

it might work, don't forget one is the opera path and one is the operadriver path
