"""Find the maximum amount of nesting for an expression that can be parsed
without causing a parse error.
Starting at the INITIAL_NESTING_DEPTH, an expression containing n parenthesis
around a 0 is generated then tested with both the C and Python parsers. We
continue incrementing the number of parenthesis by 10 until both parsers have
failed. As soon as a single parser fails, we stop testing that parser.
The grammar file, initial nesting size, and amount by which the nested size is
incremented on each success can be controlled by changing the GRAMMAR_FILE,
INITIAL_NESTING_DEPTH, or NESTED_INCR_AMT variables.
Usage: python -m scripts.find_max_nesting
