[Pyrex] error: conversion to non-scalar type requested

[Daniele Pianu]

Now I've not the code to try this, but I think it doesn't solve the problem.
func function needs a struct in_addr, not a pointer to struct in_addr, so
the cast is correct. Maybe the problem is in the generated C code. I'll post
the original pyrex (and C generated) code that originate this error very
soon to give you more details.
