It is deleted automatically when reference count become zero or when
garbage collector runs if the object contains references to itself.
Just call Py_DECREF on it if you are not going to use it anymore.

The code below prints 1:
PyObject *obj = PyInstance_New(PyExc_Exception, 0, 0);
std::cerr << obj->ob_refcnt << "\n";
Does it create circular references in constructor?
