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

[Slavin, Jonathan]

​This problem has been fixed in the most recent version of pyregion on
github, but somehow that version was not correctly copied to pypi -- so my
pip install of it had the old version of wcs_helper.py despite the version
no. indicating it was up-to-date.
