Demonstrating accessing PDB containers

Requests to the site root are handled by a function that contains a Python pdb statement. This provides a breakpoint to code execution.

To drop into this breakpoint:

# Attach into the container
$ docker attach django-docker-pdb_web_1

# Make a request to http://localhost
# You will see the breakpoint visible in your terminal
