Getting the URL of an attachment in Discord.py

Question

I am trying to get the URL of the file that the user attaches so I can use it later on in my code however I'm not too sure on how to go about doing so.

@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def readURL(ctx, url):
    # Do something

If I'm understanding the question correctly, it would go like this:

@client.command() # context is automatically passed in rewrite
async def readURL(ctx):
    attachment = ctx.message.attachments[0] # gets first attachment that user
                                            # sent along with command
    print(attachment.url)
