I am trying to decrypt a RSA message using the Chinese Remainder Theorem:

p = random_prime(2^512-1, False, 2^511)
q = random_prime(2^512-1, False, 2^511)
n = p * q
phi = (p - 1) * (q - 1)
m = 235432543543345
e = 65537
bezout = xgcd(e, phi)
d = Integer(mod(bezout[1], phi))
c = 0
m_decrypted = 0

def encrypt_rsa():
    global c
    c = mod(m ^ e, n)
    print 'c = ', c

def decrypt_rsa_crt():
    global m_decrypted
    c1 = p * inverse_mod(p % q, q)
    c2 = q * inverse_mod(q % p, p)
    n1 = ((c % p) ^ (d % (p - 1))) % p
    n2 = ((c % q) ^ (d % (q - 1))) % q
    m_decrypted = (n1 * c1 + n2 * c2) % n

encrypt_rsa()
decrypt_rsa_crt()
print 'm_decrypted = ', m_decrypted

However I'm getting this error:

Error in lines 40-40

The line of the error is the m_decrypted = (n1 * c1 + n2 * c2) % n line. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here and how to fix it?

When you write (say):

sage: mod(7,3)
1

you define an element of the ring of integers modulo 3, not an integer:

sage: mod(7,3).parent()
Ring of integers modulo 3

In particular, there is no adition between elements of incompatible such rings:

sage: mod(7,3) + mod(5,2)
TypeError: unsupported operand parent(s) for '+': 'Ring of integers modulo 3' and 'Ring of integers modulo 2'

If you want an integer, you should use %:

sage: 7 % 3
1
sage: (7 % 3).parent()
Integer Ring
sage: 7%3 + 5%2
2
