you might also use Sage (i.e. http://www.sagemath.org), which has both
Matlab and GAP interfaces (from Python).
See e.g.
http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/interfaces/sage/interfaces/matlab.html
and
http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/interfaces/sage/interfaces/gap.html

Note that also a lot of GAP's Guava functionality is already wrapped into
proper Python classes.
