**Note**: this is a very technical detail that you probably can **just skip**.

---

The `APIRouter`s are not "mounted", they are not isolated from the rest of the application.

This is because we want to include their *path operations* in the OpenAPI schema and the user interfaces.

As we cannot just isolate them and "mount" them independently of the rest, the *path operations* are "cloned" (re-created), not included directly.

## What is a Container { #what-is-a-container }

Containers (mainly Linux containers) are a very **lightweight** way to package applications including all their dependencies and necessary files while keeping them isolated from other containers (other applications or components) in the same system.

# Virtual Environments { #virtual-environments }

When you work in Python projects you probably should use a **virtual environment** (or a similar mechanism) to isolate the packages you install for each project.

/// info

If you already know about virtual environments, how to create them and use them, you might want to skip this section. 🤓

///

/// tip

A **virtual environment** is different than an **environment variable**.

// Takes in Erasure object layer, and the list of API end points to be tested/required, registers the API end points and returns the HTTP handler.
// Need isolated registration of API end points while writing unit tests for end points.
// All the API end points are registered only for the default case.
