This is in a program that runs on Windows, Linux and Mac and I am
generating the HTML, and supply the stylesheet.

My problem is that I want to display the HTML in the HTML widget
supplied with wxPython (which doesn't understand styles).  If I
could use a different widget then that is fine, but at the moment
there are no alternatives (short of me spending many months of
working porting something to wxWidgets).

How exactly would I do that?  There is no Javascript in Python and if
I had a way of displaying HTML then this is a non-issue.

Have a look at this screenshot:  http://bitpim.org/screenshots/phonebook.jpg

The green backgrounded pane on the right is the wxPython HTML widget and
I use my current hacky scheme to apply styles for the various areas.
