It's pretty simple:

    import win32gui
    button_handle = ...
    is_visible = win32gui.IsWindowVisible(button_handle)

The win32gui contains all GUI related Windows API functions.

PyWin32's help file is great for looking up Windows functions and their 
respective modules. Just switch to the Index tab, type the function name and 
you'll find a help page with the parameters, return type and containing 
module of each API function.
