Well, the extensions wrap the MFC objects with Python objects.  The
only one that seems to explicitly include the DeleteObject method is
the region object.  I would assume that the others automatically clean
up after themselves after the wrapping Python object is destroyed, but
am not completely certain.

Those are all methods on a pyCDC object which you get from calls like
CreateDC().

Note that this is all in the win32ui.pyd module, which has its own
documentation and is located in the Pythonwin subdirectory rather than
the win32 subdirectory in an installation.
