This is requires bit of understanding on how the current cat treats the characters that are outside the ascii range, also the manual mentions that it treats the characters with the high bit set as M-, this needs a bit of analysis.

See the following link: https://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/unix/upt/ch25_07.htm#:~:text=Instead%2C%20try%20cat%20%2Dv%20.,non%2Dprintable%20files%20is%20od%20.

py: Implement cat

The basic options are implemented and tested for parity, but it is not comparable to cat, this is one very slow and  is done in few hours.

The following option -v (--show-nonprinting) characters is a beast, which is not implemented, can come back to it when there is time( an issue is created #14 to followup)
