I'm trying to pass an object from python to C++. I want C++ to take control of the object.

Am I doing something wrong? base on that snippet it should work. Is there another way to do this? I know I should probably switch to smart_ptrs and I'm considering it, but Id like to be able to know how to do this, even if its just for future reference. Any help would be appreciated.
I suspect the inheritance is getting in the way, and Boost.Python isn't being as smart as it could be about converting auto_ptr<T> to auto_ptr<U> when T* is convertible to U*.
You might want to try having your register function wrapper accept auto_ptr<UseComponentWrap> (and if necessary, providing an overload that takes auto_ptr<UseComponent>).
Before that, however, you might want to just try using "auto_ptr &" rather than simple "auto_ptr". It'd be unfortunate if that was necessary, but it's a possibility.
