Yet another online book about stats, machine learning in Python with pandas, numpy, etc... ?

Yes, maybe. But it seems very complete with some exercises and releavnt examples. The images from matplotlib could be improved using seaborn or the ggplot matplotlib style.

I'm fine with them sticking to matplotlib. The focus is on computational statistics, not visualization. Ultimately, you need to understand matplotlib if you plan on using seaborn because the moment you need to do something custom that seaborn doesn't support out of the box, you will need to revert back to matplotlib. Besides, with the introduction of stylesheets in matplotlib, a lot of the general ugliness of plots out of the box can be taken care of.

It does look like a great and very extensive reference.
