Please, do not do that. It's very difficult to debug code that
hasn't been seen. The code you posted has numerous problems (that
likely have nothing to do with your actual problem.)
If you're going to post code, try to recreate the issue with a small
runnable script. If you can't do that, as it sounds like it would be
difficult in this case as your code is dispersed in different places,
at least post the relevant portions of the actual code. Don't
re-type.

If the statements above and below that line(s) are executed, then that
line is certainly being executed as well.
Try introducing some additional print statements to verify your mental
model of what's happening:
# set it to 1
print jobs
print jobs[index]
print jobs[index]['v']
jobs[index]['v'] = 1
print jobs
print jobs[index]
print jobs[index]['v']
print "Set to 1"

You are barking up the wrong tree. Somewhere in your code you're
doing something silly that's causing your issue.
