My website with Django 1.11.1 and Django debug toolbar 1.8 runs fine on my development server (vagrant/gunicorn/nginx). My regular test suite runs fine. However, when I tell it to run the selenium tests, it dies with a 'djdt' is not a registered namespace error. I have the appropriate entries in urls, middleware, and config. If I curl localhost, it returns the home page with the debug toolbar in it. If I set the toolbar not to show with the show_toolbar code, my selenium tests still crash, but the website still works fine (and doesn't show the debug toolbar).
Thoughts on how I can get my selenium tests to run?

Apparently the answer is to not load django_debug_toolbar if you're doing selenium testing.
import sys
TESTING = len(sys.argv) > 1 and sys.argv[1] == 'test'
if not TESTING:
MIDDLEWARE += ('debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware',)
INSTALLED_APPS += ('debug_toolbar', )
