19854	Selenium tests in Django's own test suite should be off by default, flag to enable	Carl Meyer	Zbigniew Siciarz	"The Django test suite includes a number of Selenium tests, mostly for testing the admin.

Currently these tests are automatically run if Selenium is installed, and not otherwise.

This is irritating, because I often don't want to run those tests (because they are very slow, and more prone to spurious breakage), but sometimes I do. Currently this means I have to repeatedly ""pip install selenium"" / ""pip uninstall selenium"", or else duplicate every Django-development virtualenv (of which I have seven, for Python 2.4/2.5/2.6/2.7/3.2/3.3) for a with-selenium and without-selenium version.

Instead, I think there should be a test-runner flag or an environment variable to explicitly disable running the Selenium tests even when Selenium is installed. (Or maybe have the default be not run them, and provide the flag to run them; I have no strong opinion on that.)"	New feature	closed	Testing framework	dev	Normal	fixed			Accepted	1	0	0	0	0	0
