You are getting that error because Carl forgot to cast the descriptor
to the appropriate C type, in this case PyMemberDescrObject.  The last
line is also incorrect, I think.  Try something like this:

  PyObject *descr = PyObject_GetAttrString(x,"attr_one");
  int offset = ((PyMemberDescrObject *) descr)->d_member->offset;
  PyObject *slotvar = *(PyObject **)(((char *) obj) + offset);
