I was thinking to do that somehow with WebDriverWait

Exactly. First of all, see if the built-in Expected Conditions may solve that:

• title_is
• title_contains

Sample usage:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
wait.until(EC.title_is("title"))
wait.until(EC.title_contains("part of title"))

If not, you can always create a custom Expected Condition to wait for url to match a desired regular expression.
