Get market data from uniswap using Web3.py in Python

The Python code below uses Python Web3.py and calls the Uniswap contract on Ethereum to obtain pricing information on a pair of tokens. One can replace the token addresses to get different prices. You will need to make sure you have Web3.py installed in Python and you have an Infra URL.

The Python code below gets the price of 1 ETH vs DAI from Uniswap. Do not be overwhelmed by looking at the block of code. Most of the code below is the abi (application binary interface) which of a copy paste of text from Ether Scan. The actual Python code is the last 6 lines in the block below.
