Bug Description
When pyTypeFactory returns an object such as in
return new StrType(cx, rval.toString());
it is never freed and thus leaks

Hi, the new allocations in pyTypeFactory, when do they get deallocated?

as far as I know, never, so they leak. It's likely we should do away with that function returning a PyType altogether and just return a PyObject*, as it has turned out to not be a useful pattern
