Python in Excel: Combining the Power of Python and the Flexibility of Excel
Reading the headline, I initially thought that Microsoft bought the company behind XLWings [1], which also enables you to use Excel directly within Excel, even locally. Not affiliated in any kind to that company, just used it in the past.

Creating slicers with xlwings
I'm trying to automate a report and I know xlwings does not support pivot tables and slicers, as it is essentially a pywin32 wrapper. You can directly reference the COM object using .api and constants

access excel sheet programatically
Kind of. There are a few libraries that attempt to give full Excel formula functionality in Python, but they are not complete. That is to say, they don't work on all formulae, and certain newer Excel feature (like array formulae) are unsupported. These are: pycel, koala, xlcalculator.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing xlwings and koala you can also consider the following projects:
openpyxl
pycel - A library for compiling excel spreadsheets to python code & visualizing them as a graph
XlsxWriter - A Python module for creating Excel XLSX files.
xlcalculator - xlcalculator converts MS Excel formulas to Python and evaluates them.
pyexcel - Single API for reading, manipulating and writing data in csv, ods, xls, xlsx and xlsm files
xlwt
