First of all this is not an in-depth python book or an in-depth finance book. So if you are looking for something with a strong technical bent on python or finance this is not it.
It is, however, a great read if you are familiar with doing a lot of finance in another language like R and want to transition to python. With bloomberg providing a python API and C++ still being a real pain the rear this is a good way for more "analyst" types to become much more fluent and competent using a vastly more flexible language. It is not mega detailed - basically a "crash through" approach to doing a bit of python and doing it quickly. This is by no means a standalone solution to anything.
The best use of this book is in conjunction with something more rigorous for finance and python. Aside from that it could be put to good use in an undergrad finance class so that instead of messing around in excel people actually learn a bit of code that they can build on later.

This book should have the title "Finance expressed using Python" instead.
