You have 3 options, string concatenation, and two styles of formatting:
>>> name = 'Sir Arthur'
>>> '.*' + name + '.*'
'.*Sir Arthur.*'
>>> '.*%s.*' % (name, )
'.*Sir Arthur.*'
>>> '.*{0}.*'.format(name)
'.*Sir Arthur.*'
>>> '.*{name}.*'.format(name=name)
'.*Sir Arthur.*'
The last two examples are different ways to accomplish the same thing.
