I think there's probably a more Pythonic way to do this.

List comprehensions is one
paths = [ child.value for child in config.children if child.key == "TypeDB" ]

Using filter to filter out the children and then doing a list comprehension is more readable than above but requries two O(n) loops.

What is written works, and I think there's a better way than my two suggestions. Feel free to ignore.
