Python cannot find package h2o in anaconda

When I try to import h2o I am told that the package does not exist. When I try to install it, it tells me it already exists. I have tried wiping it out of my computer and reinstalling to no avail. At this point all I can think is some environment variable.

conda packages arn't language specific, in this case conda install h2o installs the java package. You need to do conda install h2o-py

No idea why this worked on my old computer without the -py.
