See this discussion on Reddit featuring the same error Traceback.

Basically, this is not a problem with anything within the Selenium tests but rather with your project's static file configuration.

From your question, I believe the key line within the Traceback is:

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/views/static.py", line 54, in serve

Set STATIC_ROOT in your project's settings.pyfile and you should be good.
