In process_penalties_and_exits, change the definition of eligible to the following (note that it is not a pure function because state is declared in the surrounding scope):

    # Cannot exit if there are still open bit challenges
    if len([record for record in state.custody_bit_challenge_records if record.responder_index == index]) > 0:
        return False
    # Cannot exit if you have not revealed all of your custody keys
    elif validator.next_custody_reveal_period <= get_validators_custody_reveal_period(state, index, validator.exit_epoch):
        return False
    # Cannot exit if you already have
    elif validator.withdrawable_epoch < FAR_FUTURE_EPOCH:
        return False
    # Return minimum time
    else:
        return current_epoch >= validator.exit_epoch + MIN_VALIDATOR_WITHDRAWAL_EPOCHS
