[AstroPy] pyregion and astropy -- differences of pywcs and astropy.wcs

Hi,

I've run into an issue with using pyregion that seems to be related to
differences in the API for pywcs vs. astropy.wcs.  This may be discussed
somewhere, but I didn't run across it.  The problem is that pyregion wants
to invoke a wcs_sky2pix method for an astropy.wcs.wcs.WCS object.
Apparently pywcs.WCS objects have this method.  So I'm wondering, is the
pywcs wcs_sky2pix method the same as the astropy.wcs method wcs_world2pix?
If so, then the fix to pyregion is easy.

Regards,
Jon
