| There are currently two supported ways of building pandas, pip/meson and setuptools(setup.py). | ||
| Historically, pandas has only supported using setuptools to build pandas. However, this method | ||
| requires a lot of convoluted code in setup.py and also has many issues in compiling pandas in parallel | ||
| due to limitations in setuptools. |

I think we can probably remove this entire paragraph: for current readers of this document, it doesn't really matter that in the past we used setuptools, it just matters that right now we use meson
(and also the next two paragraphs could be reworded slightly)

doc/source/whatsnew/vX.X.X.rstfile if fixing a bug or adding a new feature.Setup.py does not quite work, this PR just updates the docs. If its okay, I can go ahead and remove other references of setup.py including the setup.py file itself
