There was a problem hiding this comment.
Normally, list items are supposed to follow a : at the end of a paragraph. Putting the warning between that and the items gets us weird rendering.
Currenlty, the warning ended up being wrapped into a blockquote: https://python-packaging-user-guide--1953.org.readthedocs.build/en/1953/tutorials/installing-packages/#ensure-you-can-run-pip-from-the-command-line.

This PR moves the existing warning about using
get-pip.pyso that itappears before the installation steps.
Currently, the tutorial shows the instructions for downloading and running
get-pip.pybefore the cautionary note, which may lead beginners to runthe command without seeing the warning first. Since this tutorial is aimed at
new Python users, placing the warning earlier helps prevent accidental misuse.
