self.guess overwrites itself, that's a live you commented on.
And why it doesn't display the game over message is you do the "game
over" check before you do the "is this correct?" check, but don't check
to see if the game is over before the 2nd check.
If that didn't make sense, psudocode:
if check_for_gameover:
message = "Game Over!"
if check_guessed_number:
message = "You WIN!"
You see the problem? The "message" variable gets overwritten by the
guess check because it comes second.
Other tips I might give are all about code style (I don't like yours
>_>), so I'll just leave it at that. And yes, I did test these, they
fix all your problems. Well, except that you only need a window 350x300...
