Using a locally stored copy. I'm also considering a new trick for the import system (in the general vein of *.egg-link files) that would let us achieve that without copying, and perhaps even let us eventually deprecate *.pth files entirely. If that scheme comes to fruition it will be as an independent PEP, though.
