import sys
from wxPython.wx import *
s = wxPySizer()
sys.getrefcount(s)

4

s.Destroy()
^Z

Since the sizer is not assigned to a window then you need to clean it up
yourself, that's what the Destroy method is for. If it had been assigned to
a window then the window would take ownership and would destroy it when the
window is destroyed.
