Make pdb work with docker

Question

I am trying to get pdb while working with docker

We just started using docker in development. I am running python scripts inside docker

I can attach to docker container:

 docker exec  -ti 6e2355917804  /bin/bash 

I can infer

 docker attach 6e2355917804

I see that the code hits the breakpoint, but I cannot interact with the PDB.

Docker version 1.7.1,
