```python
scipy.stats.fisher_exact(table, alternative='two-sided')
```
> Perform a Fisher exact test on a 2x2 contingency table.
>
> The null hypothesis is that the true odds ratio of the populations underlying the observations is one, and the observations were sampled from these populations under a condition: the marginals of the resulting table must equal those of the observed table. The statistic returned is the unconditional maximum likelihood estimate of the odds ratio, and the p-value is the probability under the null hypothesis of obtaining a table at least as extreme as the one that was actually observed. There are other possible choices of statistic and two-sided p-value definition associated with Fishers exact test; please see the Notes for more information.
> **alternative** : {two-sided, less, greater}, optional
> Defines the alternative hypothesis. The following options are available (default is two-sided):
>
> * two-sided: the odds ratio of the underlying population is not one
> * less: the odds ratio of the underlying population is less than one
> * greater: the odds ratio of the underlying population is greater than one
