In Dulwich master , you can use the dulwich.porcelain.remote_add method:

from dulwich import porcelain
porcelain.remote_add('origin', 'http://github.com/git/git')

In older versions (that don't have porcelain.remote_add) you can use something like:

from dulwich.repo import Repo
c = Repo('.').get_config()
c.set(('remote "origin"', ), "url", "http://github.com/git/git") 
c.write_to_path()
