This is a pretty cool idea for loads of spare time.

The biggest feature and for you problem is the HTML/CSS parser/renderer, you could use for example WebKit (chrome etc.) or build your own.

I suggest looking at this source code:

http://git.suckless.org/surf/tree/surf.c

Its from a browser called 'surf'
Written in C , it will give you an idea of how to approach this.

I made one in python once, but used WebKit.  I can give you the source if you want.
I think UDACITY has a (free) course that involves a web browser, but uses python as well.  I've never taken it though, so I don't know if it's good.
Good luck.
