How to get the price of BSC token directly the token pool contract in web3.py

Question

I'm trying to get the price of some BSC token directly from the contract. Doing some searches, I found a mix of ideas with the snippet below.

I'm sure the code is off because when I checked on https://pancakeswap.finance/swap and https://poocoin.app/ as reference for the price, the result I have is way off.

Getting the BNB price from the pool contract would be enough.

Any idea what could be wrong with the code?

from web3 import Web3

panRouterContractAddress = '0x10ED43C718714eb63d5aA57B78B54704E256024E'

You should use UniswapV2OracleLibrary. PancakeSwap is a fork of UniswapV2 so it should be ok.

You see the more details about it in following links:

2. docs.uniswap.org/protocol/V2/concepts/core-concepts/oracles

Hope it helps.
