Are you using Python 3.6? I believe we may have the wrong Selenium version installed for that version (we're in the process of building a new system image which will fix that). If you are using Python 3.6, then the following bash command should fix the problem: 

pip3.6 install --user selenium==2.53.6

If you're using a virtualenv, and have installed Selenium into it yourself, you'll need to run

pip install selenium==2.53.6
