OP is probably referring to this: https://github.com/JohnLonginotto/pybam
Author of that software claims it is probably faster than pysam, which is a bold claim to make, given their tool doesn't seem to use C++ or htslib.
EDIT: That software is abandonware made by someone with a bit of a holier-than-thou stance: https://github.com/JohnLonginotto/pybam/issues/7#issuecomment-427638328
