IPFS connection : ConnectionError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=5001)

Question

i'm trying to connect my python program to IPFS api to mint some nft. I started the IPFS daemon on the " /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5001 " but when i try to connect the client i get this error :

ConnectionError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=5001): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/v0/version?stream-channels=true (Caused by NewConnectionError('<ipfshttpclient.requests_wrapper.HTTPConnection object at 0x7fac0ddf97c0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused'))

this is my code :

import ipfshttpclient



client = ipfshttpclient.connect()
print(client.version()) 

it fails on connect() function, i miss something ? what i can do for can start the connection? Thank you very much for your help.
