This book is written by Yves J. Hilpisch a premier figure in the big data python world and great teacher. He has another more advanced book, which I loved, called Derivative Analytics with Python[0] and has given many well known and received talks.
Note, I am Continuum Analytics[1] alumni, of which is Yves J. Hilpisch is the European director and whose CEO was the lead contributer to NumPy for many years.
So my endorsement is not against Packt's Python for Finance but rather for O'Reillys Python for Finance based on previous work and experience of the Author.
