This distinction is important enough that it's worth asking non-native
speakers to *learn* this one idiom ("make Python do"), and all
developers to *use* it (or an equally unambiguous form, if they feel
like being original).
Whether that's a reasonable burden for individual non-natives is going
to depend on the individual, of course. But asking is not out of line.

Sure, one can figure that out -- but that's a lot of effort to ask of
readers of logs. In general it requires familiarity with the patch
being documented.
