How to use a variable instead of a constant in the following statement in python with PyPDF2-CodePudding

object = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(r"C:\PROYECTOS\PruebasPDF\ArchivosPDF\326581098.pdf")

changing the path for a variable, how would the sentence be

path = "C:\PROYECTOS\PruebasPDF\ArchivosPDF\326581098.pdf"

object = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(r....)
