RaiMan proposed the following answer:
@Ryan
Inheriting from the class Region on the Python level is problematic.
This has historical reasons and is due to the fact, that on the scripting level on can say:

click(someThing)

instead of 
someRegion.click(someThing)

this is a convenience, that binds these undotted method usages to the
"constant" object SCREEN at runTime, which is Screen(0).

If you want to do a robust inheritance, then this way:

import org.sikuli.script.Region as JavaRegion

class myComponent(JavaRegion):
    pass

this way you are directly using the Java class Region, where all the
methods are implemented.

BTW: I generally do not recommend, to use inheritance, but to implement some wrapper class for your own features.
This way, you have more freedom, to switch between the 2 worlds (yours and SikuliX).
