assuming you actually mean 192.168.0.254 + 1 = 192.168.0.255,
try something like...

>>> def dotted2int(ds): 
...     return struct.unpack('!I', socket.inet_aton(ds))[0]
... 
>>> def int2dotted(i):
...     return socket.inet_ntoa(struct.pack('!I', i))
... 
>>> print int2dotted(dotted2int('192.168.0.254') + 1)
192.168.0.255
