I never used Pytave myself, so forgive me if I got a wrong impression,
but from Pytave description on launchpad it seems its purpose is:

"enabling existing m-files (Matlab scripts) for numerical calculations to be 
used from Python."

this does not really sound like two-way communication but yet another way to 
allow
Python users to access Octave features. 

If so what is the benefit of this for Octave users/developers?

I think something like the "py" interface suggested by mike would be much
more beneficial and worth working on.
