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.
