How to get a search cursor on a particular version in arcpy

Question

I have a versioned database in ArcGIS and I am wondering how can I tell arcpy what version to query. The closest I have got to an answer has been building a particular connection file that specifies the version to connect to, or use `ChangeVersion_management` which only works on layers and views.

I can easily do that in a published map on the web using ArcGIS JS API by setting the version using layer.setGDBVersion(version)
