It is not necessary to use the initial cast since 

     (char *)f->f_code->co_filename + 20

is already a `char *'.

Not really.  What this expression does it actually somewhat
complicated.  For example, suppose X is some object in the python
language, e.g.,

      X = 3.0

How would you form a string from the last 3 bytes of the 8 byte object
represented by X in pure python?  In C you would use `(char *)&X + 5'.     
Why you would want to do this another issue.
