I think in new update client.invoke() is not defined. I used following code and it worked for me.

from telethon.tl.functions.contacts import GetContactsRequest
contacts = client(GetContactsRequest(0))

Sending empty string didn't worked for me:

contacts = client.invoke(GetContactsRequest(""))
*** struct.error: required argument is not an integer

So I think you should use '0' instead:

contacts = client.invoke(GetContactsRequest(0))
print(contacts)

Just add this line to your code: 

contacts = client.invoke(GetContactsRequest(""))
print(contacts)

And you should see the contacts in the result.

To send messages to contacts, you can use the send_message function defined in telegram_client.py and has an example in InteractiveTelegramClient.py. 

for u in contacts.users: 
    client.send_message(InputPeerUser(u.id, u.access_hash), "hi")

If you need more details comment below and I will try to reply.
