You can spell this as a for-loop:

for p in a:
    if p:
        print p

It isn't exactly equivalent, but gives the same output as we know that a[0]
and a[1] are also 0.
  
If the OP insists in not examining a[0] and a[1], this will do exactly 
the same as the while version:

for p in a[2:]:
   if p:
       print p
