I can not get this program to list all of the contact names, it just list the first one.

FILENAME = "contacts.csv"

        reader = csv.reader(file)
        for row in reader:
            contacts.append(row)
            return contacts

def list_contacts(contacts):
    for i in range(len(contacts)):
        contact = contacts[i]
        print(str(i+1) + "." + contact[0] )
        print()

def view_contacts(contacts):
    number = int(input("Number: "))
    if number < 1 or number > len (contacts):
        print("invalid number")

    else:

            contact = contacts[number-1]
            print("Name: " + contact[0])
            print("Email: " + contact[1])
            print("Phone: " + contact[2])
            print()

    name = input("Name: ")
    email = input("Email: ")
    phone = input("Phone: ")
    contact = []
    contact.append(name)
    contact.append(email)
    contact.append(phone)
    contacts.append(contact)
    write_contacts(contacts)
    print(name + " was added")
    print()

def delete_contacts(contacts):
    number = int(input("Number: "))
    if number < 0 or number > len (contacts):
        print("invalid number")
    else:
            contact = contacts.pop(number-1)
            write_contacts(contacts)
            print(contact[0] + " was deleted")
            return contacts

Print "contacts" to see what it contains

In the menu routine, add a line "There are x contacts." so you can see if you have one or more in that array.
