Variable not getting resolved inside $()

Question

I am expecting that variable url will be resolved in $() but I am getting variable of variable as url and not "http://testing.com"

url="http://testing.com"

echo "Fetching from ${url}"

some_var=$(python somePythonScript.py url)

@JeffSchaller thanks for reminding, I was waiting on 4 mins to finish and I moved to another tab. — Vishrant

You correctly referenced the variable here:

echo "Fetching from ${url}"

So do the same thing here:

some_var=$(python somePythonScript.py "${url}")
