Do I have to call super.join() when subclassing threading.Thread?

I have a subclass of threading.thread that is running a cherrypy server. My join() method looks like this:

def join(self):
    cherrypy.engine.exit()
    super(MyThread, self).join()

Do I have to explicitly have to call super.join()? What exactly does it do after I have explicitly stopped the cherrypy server?
