I guess, this is because the winreg module relies on C-based stuff (normal Python), which is not supported by Jython.

I will have a look into JNA, which is bundled and used in SikuliX internally.

Read only or read/write?

This works:
import com.sun.jna.platform.win32.Advapi32Util as WIN32
import com.sun.jna.platform.win32.WinReg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER as HKCU

print WIN32.registryGetStringValue(HKCU, "Software\\Microsoft\\Edge\\BLBeacon", "version")

Look here for the API of the JNA modules:
