Still it says pymongo.errors.ConnectionFailure: could not connect to localhost:27017: [Errno 111] Connection refused

Like it says in the error message, mongod is not able to find the db path. Either create the folder "/data/db" at the root or if you have created it else where, specify the path using the --dbpath option like:

mongod --dbpath /data/db

pymongo.errors.ConnectionFailure: could not connect to localhost:27017: [Errno 111] Connection refused
