If you don’t want to invent your own wheel you can use mine :)

SAC did not look satisfying so I went with rolling my own API for 
tinycss. I think that the result is good, although I wouldn’t call it 
established. At least it works for me in WeasyPrint and CairoSVG.

tinycss for stylesheets: http://packages.python.org/tinycss/
cssselect for selectors: http://packages.python.org/cssselect/
Using the two together:
http://packages.python.org/tinycss/css3.html#selectors-3

The tokenizer in cssselect is slightly broken (see github #2 and #7), 
but this should be fixable.

This is all in Python, but hopefully if you use another language you can 
still get ideas from these projects.
