Well, for one thing you're trying to pass the output file name config.xml as the input config file.

usage: tpconf_bin_xml.py [-h] [-l] [-n] [-o] infile outfile

TP-Link router config file processor.

positional arguments:
  infile              input file (e.g. conf.bin or conf.xml)
  outfile             output file (e.g. conf.bin or conf.xml)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help          show this help message and exit
  -l, --littleendian  Use little-endian (default: big-endian)
  -n, --newline       Replace EOF NULL with newline (after uncompress)
  -o, --overwrite     Overwrite output file

Even if you do switch the arguments around, it might not be a supported format.

y0ush4, ERROR: Wrong input file type! simply means your input file is invalid or not supported.

If your config.xml really was a valid XML file, it would begin with an XML declaration (e.g.: <?xml version=…). But your file does not, so it's not a valid XML file. Perhaps read the instructions (README.md) more carefully?... First download a conf.bin... and is your model even listed as supported?

Important: It's really NOT a good idea to upload a conf.bin that originates from a different router!

Also, it's possible your router's firmware only supports specific languages, if that's the case, then you would need to install firmware with support for the language(s) you want.
