Integrate a GUI in a excel sheed

May I ask why you would like to embed a GUI in Excel?

If your application is primarily based around a spreadsheet, (ie a helper
for accountants) but needs some extra info passed from the spreadsheet into
python and back then excel already has a pretty good and easy GUI toolkit.
No point in making life hard.

If your application is not primarily a spreadsheet, then it might be asked
why you want to use excel?

What are you trying to do please?
