The multiprocessing docs say:

"""
Joining zombie processes

On Unix when a process finishes but has not been joined it becomes a
zombie. There should never be very many because each time a new
process starts (or active_children() is called) all completed
processes which have not yet been joined will be joined. Also calling
a finished process’s Process.is_alive() will join the process. Even so
it is probably good practice to explicitly join all the processes that
you start.
