I'm writing a python script but, at the moment, I do everything from the Qgis python console. Is there a way to write and run a pyqgis script externally from Qgis?
I'm using Qgis 2.18 and python 2.7.12 on Ubuntu 16.04 OS.

You may like to try installing and configuring Pycharm. There's an blog article here : How to setup PyCharm for QGIS development (under Debian/Ubuntu) describing how to configure all this.

Download and install anaconda from here https://www.continuum.io/downloads.
open the python shell of anaconda Type this command to install qgis
conda install -c conda-forge qgis
The you can import qgis in python
if the above solution does not workout well for you, try this in your python console.
import sys
sys.path.append("C:\Program Files\QGIS Pisa\apps\Python27\Lib")
import qgis.core
change the qgis path as per your config

How do you want to use it in python shell or in jupyter or any other way. – Sandeep Kumar Aug 25 '17 at 14:25

Say I'm a neophyte, what I would do is write the code and run it externally from the Qgis python console. Working on the console is extremely uncomfortable if the code is very long. – Domenico Fuoco Aug 25 '17 at 14:31

I'm sorry, none of these solutions work, I will continue with the integrated console in Qgis – Domenico Fuoco Aug 25 '17 at 15:20
import mything; mything.dostuff()from the console is all you need. Write your code as a python module. – Spacedman Aug 31 '17 at 14:59
