<h3>Overview<a class="headerlink" href="#overview" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>A Python package to parse and build CSS Cascading Style Sheets. DOM only, not any rendering facilities!</p>
<p>Based upon and partly implementing the following specifications :</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt><a class="reference external" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/CR-CSS2-20090423/">CSS 2.1rev1</a></dt>
<dd>General CSS rules and properties are defined here</dd>
<dt><a class="reference external" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-syntax/">CSS3 Module: Syntax</a></dt>
<dd>Used in parts since cssutils 0.9.4. cssutils tries to use the features from CSS 2.1 and CSS 3 with preference to CSS3 but as this is not final yet some parts are from CSS 2.1</dd>
<dt><a class="reference external" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-fonts/">CSS Fonts Module Level 3</a></dt>
<dd>Added changes and additional stuff (since cssutils v0.9.6)</dd>
<dt><a class="reference external" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-mediaqueries/">MediaQueries</a></dt>
<dd>MediaQueries are part of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">stylesheets.MediaList</span></tt> since v0.9.4, used in @import and @media rules.</dd>
<dt><a class="reference external" href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-namespace/">Namespaces</a></dt>
<dd>Added in v0.9.1, updated to definition in CSSOM in v0.9.4, updated in 0.9.5 for dev version</dd>
<dt><a class="reference external" href="`http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-page/">CSS3 Module: Pages Media</a></dt>
<dd>Most properties of this spec are implemented and the additional @rules should at least parse (as <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">CSSUnknownRule</span></tt>)</dd>
<dt><a class="reference external" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/">Selectors</a></dt>
<dd>The selector syntax defined here (and not in CSS 2.1) should be parsable with cssutils (<em>should</em> mind though ;) )</dd>
<dt><a class="reference external" href="http://disruptive-innovations.com/zoo/cssvariables/">Variables</a></dt>
<dd>Experimental specification of CSS Variables which cssutils implements partly. Media specific variables are not supported.</dd>
<dt><a class="reference external" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Style/css.html">DOM Level 2 Style CSS</a></dt>
<dd>DOM for package css</dd>
<dt><a class="reference external" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Style/stylesheets.html">DOM Level 2 Style Stylesheets</a></dt>
<dd>DOM for package stylesheets</dd>
<dt><a class="reference external" href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom/">CSSOM</a></dt>
<dd>A few details (mainly the NamespaceRule DOM) are taken from here. Plan is to move implementation to the stuff defined here which is newer but still no REC so might change anytime...</dd>
</dl>
<p>The cssutils tokenizer is a customized implementation of <a class="reference external" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-syntax/">CSS3 Module: Syntax (W3C Working Draft 13 August 2003)</a> which itself is based on the CSS 2.1 tokenizer. It tries to be as compliant as possible but uses some (helpful) parts of the CSS 2.1 tokenizer.</p>
<p>I guess cssutils is neither CSS 2.1 nor CSS 3 compliant but tries to at least be able to parse both grammars including some more real world cases (some CSS hacks are actually parsed and serialized). Both official grammars are not final nor bugfree but still feasible. cssutils aim is not to be fully compliant to any CSS specification (the specifications seem to be in a constant flow anyway) but cssutils <em>should</em> be able to read and write as many as possible CSS stylesheets “in the wild” while at the same time implement the official APIs which are well documented. Some minor extensions are provided as well.</p>

<div class="section" id="installation">
<h3>Installation<a class="headerlink" href="#installation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>From 0.9.6 cssutils uses <a class="reference external" href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute">Distribute</a></p>
<p>After installing Distribute use:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>> easy_install cssutils</pre>
</div>
<p>to install the latest version of cssutils.</p>
<p>Alternatively download the provided source distribution. Expand the file and from a command line install with:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>> python setup.py install</pre>
</div>
<p>To uninstall remove any registrations of cssutils eggs with Distribute and remove the eggs which should be installed at PYTHONDIR/Lib/site-packages/cssutils too.</p>
</div>
