has anyone used this? i found it's folder and files and i read it's manual but i can't use it for some reason.

It's purpose is to turn a python file into a universally playable stand-alone binary file.

I was also wondering if you are familiar with any other tool(s) that turn .py files into executable files, and i read that freeze does not work or does not work well on GUI programs.

I used it once a while ago. A simple gui program that was only a few kb as a .py was compiled to 9.5mb executable. I used cx freeze (http://www.cxtools.net/default.aspx?nav=cxfrlb) to do it, and I don't remember it being any hassle.
