Hi Yair,


I haven't tested this yet, but if the HMM is in pure Python (as it appears
to be!), then the 'pickle' or 'shelve' modules from the Standard Library
may be able to store the HMM.  Here's a link to the documentation:


    http://www.python.org/doc/lib/module-shelve.html
    http://www.python.org/doc/lib/module-pickle.html


Good luck!
