No, I don't think there are. I've seen a couple of posts about this and what I've read is that they're aren't. Here's the python documentation and they aren't mentioned there either (that I can see). https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/controlflow.html

However, having dealt with other programming languages I can say that I feel fairly certain any do while loop can be rewritten as a while loop with proper setup in advance. Just my experience and opinion, though :)
