Test for a 'transitory' DIV with Python Selenium Webdriver

I am attempting to automate a web application using the InternetExplorer driver in Python Selenium Webdriver. The web app indicates that it is fetching results by displaying a 'transitory' DIV, which contains a spinning circle icon.

So, if I automate searching for an item in the web application, as soon as I fire a click on the search button, the DIV becomes visible, then disappears when the results have been returned.

I know the class of the DIV ('loading-indicator'), I'm wondering if there is a way through Python Selenium to test for the DIV becoming visible, then test for the DIV becoming invisible as a way of then firing follow-on activity?

You could easily do it with is_displayed method :

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('yourPage.html')
element = driver.find_element_by_class('loading-indicator') #this element is visible
if element.is_displayed():
  print "Spinning and spinning and spinning"
else:
  print "Nothing spinning here"
