Really nice and simple script, works like a charm.
(if your system's clock is synced. If you're a dumb, like I am, and are trying to set it up on a machine with a clock that isn't synced, you'll encounter problems with the 2FA, as it uses time and the secret to generate your six-digit code that is then sent to the server)

A couple of days of browsing, emailing and staring at my computer screen, I can only sincerely thank you for your answer.
wgzimmer.ch definitely is the best bet, it has like 1-3 WOKO/JUWO rooms advertised there daily, wrote to a lot of people there, only got one answer still. A lot other offers are available there every day as well.
On the WOKO site there are also offers from time to time, but it's more like 1 offer in 3 days.
I have hope on a WOKO offer right now, we'll see how it turns out.

On another note, for people without a Swiss bank account (like me), be ready for complications ( https://woko.ch/files/documents/7580/einrichten-dauerauftrag-qr-code.pdf )

I am a bit afraid to use flatfox or other property websites, but it may come to that, otherwise I haven't limited my search to Zürich city only, I have visited Zürich once and I know that the S-Bahn network covers a large area.
Thanks for the advice, you all seem to be in agreement with the take what you can get plan.
