#code to remove zeroes

I'm welcome to any suggestions that are reasonably simple since I'm a beginner and self-taught. If there's anything I'm doing horribly wrong, please do point that out as well. Thank You
I would use list comprehension to remove all occurences of 0:
b=[2, 3, 0, 5, 0, 7, 0, 0, 0, 11, 0, 13, 0, 0, 0, 17, 0, 19, 0, 0, 0, 23, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 29, 0, 31, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 37, 0, 0, 0, 41, 0, 43, 0, 0, 0, 47, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 53, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 59, 0, 61, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 67, 0, 0, 0, 71, 0, 73, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 79, 0, 0, 0, 83, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 89, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 97, 0, 0, 0]
#b is a list of primes with composite numbers turned into zero!
# Iterates through all the values and returns them unless they are 0
b = [x for x in b if not x == 0]
print(b)
