+- update to version 41.0.1:
+  * #1671: Fixed issue with the PEP 517 backend that prevented
+     building a wheel when the dist/ directory contained existing .whl
+     files.
+  * #1709: In test.paths_on_python_path, avoid adding unnecessary
+     duplicates to the PYTHONPATH.
+  * #1741: In package_index, now honor "current directory" during a
+     checkout of git and hg repositories under Windows
