Variable in Regex

In Perl in can put a scalar variable in a regex as the pattern.

for example: m/$var/ where $var contains the string I want to match

Is there a way to do this in Python?

For example:
re.search("%s" % var, StrinToMatch)
or even simpler:
re.search(var, StringToMatch)

I don't know what I was doing wrong, but it works now.

Thanks for the help!
