+- Update to 4.9.1
+  * Add Python site user base subdirectories to config and data
+    user-level paths if site.ENABLE_USER_SITE is True. One way to
+    disable these directory additions is to set the
+    PYTHONNOUSERSITE environment variable. These locations can be
+    customized by setting the PYTHONUSERBASE environment variable.
+  * Add a workaround for virtualenv for getting the user site
+    directory.
