self.gmms_ is a list. The contents of the list are instances of the
GMM class, which I can't tell you anything about because it isn't
reproduced in your message.

self.gmms_[state] refers to a particular element of the list, which
per the above should be an instance of the GMM class. The sample
method would be part of the GMM class.

Because you're playing with a list of ints and floats, not GMMs.
