django cannot connect mysql in docker-compose

Finally, I figured it out!
The key point is, just as @SangminKim said, I need to use 3306 not 3302 in settings.py, and use db as HOST not 127.0.0.1.

So this is my docker-compose.yml file now:

version: '3'

services:
  db:
    image: mariadb:5.5
    restart: always
    environment:
      - MYSQL_HOST=localhost
      - MYSQL_PORT=3306  # cannot change this port to other number
      - MYSQL_ROOT_HOST=%
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=test
      - MYSQL_USER=belter
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=belter_2017
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=123456_abc
    volumes:
      - /home/belter/mdbdata/mdb55:/var/lib/mysql
    ports:
      - "3302:3306"
  web:
    image: onlybelter/django_py35
    command: python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:6001
    volumes:
      - .:/djcode
    ports:
      - "6001:6001"
    depends_on:
      - db

So now we can connect this docker-mysql by mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3302 -u root -p in shell directly, but we have to use db and 3306 in django settings.py file:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'test',
        'USER': 'belter',
        # 'HOST': 'mariadb55',
        'HOST': 'db',  #<---
        'PORT': '3306',   #<---
        'PASSWORD': 'belter_2017',
        'default-character-set': 'utf8',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'sql_mode': 'traditional',
        }
    }
}

And we can still check if this port is open, by running extra command in docker-compose.yml file:

...
  web:
    image: onlybelter/django_py35
    command: /bin/sh -c "python check_db.py --service-name mysql --ip db --port 3306"
    volumes:
      - .:/djcode
...

Here is check_db.py file:

# check_db.py 

import socket
import time
import argparse
""" Check if port is open, avoid docker-compose race condition """

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Check if port is open, avoid\
                                 docker-compose race condition')
parser.add_argument('--service-name', required=True)
parser.add_argument('--ip', required=True)
parser.add_argument('--port', required=True)

args = parser.parse_args()

# Get arguments
service_name = str(args.service_name)
port = int(args.port)
ip = str(args.ip)

# Infinite loop
while True:
    sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    result = sock.connect_ex((ip, port))
    if result == 0:
        print("{0} port is open! Bye!".format(service_name))
        break
    else:
        print("{0} port is not open! I'll check it soon!".format(service_name))
        time.sleep(3)

By the way, this is my Dockerfile for build django-py35:
