The codes in test.py are:

import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('--foo', nargs='?', help='foo help')
parser.add_argument('--goo', nargs=1, help='goo help')
args = parser.parse_args()
print(args.foo, args.goo)
---------

But I get the following result:
---------
D:\Works\Python>py test.py -h
usage: test.py [-h] [--foo [FOO]] [--goo GOO]

optional arguments:
   -h, --help   show this help message and exit
   --foo [FOO]  foo help
   --goo GOO    goo help

D:\Works\Python>py test.py --foo 1 --goo 2
1 ['2']
---------

It seems to me that the help message should be:
usage: test.py [-h] [--foo FOO] [--goo [GOO]]

Do I had missed something?

Can you elaborate on why you expect this? You've declared one of them
to have a single mandatory argument, and the other a single optional
argument. This corresponds to what I'm seeing.

So the square bracket means optional, not list? My misunderstanding:-(

Yes, the normal notation is [x] indicates that x is optionial
