Selenium remote connection refused using Python splinter

Question

I'm trying out splinter for browser testing. Unfortunately it seems like it can't connect to the website. The website opens fine in the browser when done manually.

Have I forgotten something? I followed the examples on the splinter documentation website.

My python code:

from splinter import Browser

with Browser() as browser:
    browser.visit("http://some-ip")

if browser.is_element_present_by_name("hour"):    
    browser.find_by_name("hour").fill("13")
else:
    print "No hour element"

Error message when running the script:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Turned out to be an indentation error - stupid me. I made this answer in case anyone else makes the same mistake.

from splinter import Browser

with Browser() as browser:
    browser.visit("http://some-ip")

    if browser.is_element_present_by_name("hour"):    
        browser.find_by_name("hour").fill("13")
    else:
        print "No hour element"
