For what it's worth, PyProtocols' "dispatch" package supports doing CSS-like rules expressed in Python, and can include arbitrary tests like "if the status is important, the color is red".

It doesn't *parse* CSS, mind you, and its prioritization is based on logical implication rather than numerical priorities, but it basically does the same "find the most-specific rule that applies". I'm doing a presentation on it at PyCon, if anybody's interested.

We did spend some time thinking about it -- and it didn't seem like such a good fit given that we're building things out of wxWidgets and because of the complexity of CSS.

Hi Folks,

Have we thought about/can we think about using CSS to describe
Chandler's font size/background color styling?  Positioning styling
probably needs to stay in CPIA.

I don't think wx's HTML widget supports CSS natively (I don't know if it
ever will), but even if we have to write or borrow a CSS parser it sure
would be nice to not create Yet Another Styling Language.
